PREFACE. 



The " Cyclopaedia of Practical Quotations " now presented to the public, claims to be a 
novelty only in the abundance of its matter, and the peculiarities of its arrangement. Be- 
ing, in a large measure, an outgrowth of literary needs, the Editors adopted the word "prac- 
tical " as expressive of what they believe will be the mission of the book to others ; a practi- 
cal assistant in composition, and a useful addition to every library where books of reference 
hold a place. Many years of labor have been spent in gathering, proving and arranging 
the quotations in this volume, and great care has been given to the various indexes. Such 
explanations as may be necessary to facilitate search are herewith presented. 

1. The English and Latin quotations are arranged under subject heads, and it will be 
noted that, throughout, the arrangement is alphabetical : the subjects first, then the authors, 
and lastly, the quotations under each name. Those who need merely suggestive thoughts 
will readily find what they wish under one of the numerous heads, and the same may 
possibly be the result when a definite quotation is sought, but otherwise a reference to the 
concordance will be necessary. 

2. "With each quotation is given the Name of the Writer and the Place where it may be 
found, thus enabling the reader, if he so desires, to ascertain the context. Very few books 
of quotations are so complete, in this respect, as the present. 

3. The grouping of certain prominent subjects will be found new, attractive and useful. 
No collections such as those under "Birds,'' "Flowers," "Months," "Occupations," 
"Seasons," "Trees," etc., have ever before been made, and their practical value will, we 
are sure, be appreciated. 

If the subjects in the Appendix do not cover quotations, strictly speaking, they certainly 
do cover much proverbial philosophy, and items of information that are far oftener 
wanted than found. The object has not been to treat exhaustively any one topic, but to 
glean what is likely to be most wanted, by popular writers and readers, in the ordinary cur- 
rent of life and work. Here, as elsewhere, usefulness has been studied rather than profuse- 
neas. Not a line has been knowingly added merely to expand the book. 

INDEXES. 

It has been wisely said that no good book is complete without an Index, and the com- 
pilers of this volume have a right to claim that, if a good index indicates quality, this book 
must be very good indeed. The concordance to the English quotations is very full and 
accurate, and the same may be said of the English translations of the Latin. They are a 
guide to those not perfectly familiar with that tongue, but who wish to illustrate modern 
thoughts by ancient wisdom. Any remembered word of prominence will almost surely 
bring a desired passage to light. A complete alphabetical Latin index is also given. 



PREFACE. 



The attention of the reader is further called to two marked features of the Cyclopaedia ; 

1. The italic letters a, h, c, d, etc. These refer to corresponding letters in the page, and 
enable any person to locate the proper passage with the least possible delay. 

2. The asterisk * indicates that the quotation is from Shakespeare, and this will also save 
time and trouble. The selections from that master of English thought and language are 
much more numerous than in any other volume of this character. 

It will be observed that no one standard of English orthography or composition has been 
followed. Each author's peculiarities have been respected, as this seemed to be the only safe 
way to avoid almost insuperable difficulties. In Shakespeare, Knight's test has been 
adopted, with some slight and seemingly justifiable variations, and in nearly all cases the 
latest edition of each of the several authors has been taken . The name " Shakespeare " has 
been given as it has been written for nearly three hundred years. "When antiquarians and 
critics unite upon another orthography, we will use it in a future edition. 

A few quotations have been purposely retained under more than one head, where they 
seemed especially adapted to do double duty, and might be of actual service. In the many 
thousands of others these would hardly be noticed, even by the persevering critic, without 
this reference. For other tbings that may be discovered as actual faults — for sins of com- 
mission or omission — the editors beg kindly indulgence. With care and assiduity they have 
aimed at perfection — but to attain it, in the first edition of a work of this size, is next to an 
impossibility. 

Thanks to those friends whose valuable aid has been a constant joy and sustaining 
power, through these long years of anxious labor. Their names would be gratefully men- 
tioned, but for the reason that they are so numerous. The value to be set upon the work 
itself will determine our own and their honor.

Note Readers who seek merely for quotations of a general character will find them 

best under one of the topical heads. Those in search of a special verse or line should look 
for it in the concordance guided by some prominent word. If not thus traced it may pos- 
sibly be found in the proverbs which are not indexed in the concordance but are arranged 
alphabetically. It will be observed that we give the Latin in two divisions : (a) Quotations, 
(6) Proverbs and Mottoes. The first are indexed by their first lines, in addition to the full 
concordance of translations ; the second are arranged alphabetically, but are not indexed. 
There are no quotations from the Bible in this volume, the editors believing that book to be 
most amply provided for by a score or more of books devoted wholly to it. 



THE 



Gyclop/edia of Practical Quotations, 



ABHORRENCE. 

The self-same thing they will abhor 
One way, and long another for. 

a. Butler — Hudibras. Pt. I. Canto I. 

Line 220. 

Justly thou abhorr'st 
That son, who on the quiet state of men 
Such trouble brought, affecting to subdue 
Kational liberty ; yet know withal, 
Since thy original lapse, true liberty 
Is lost. 

b. Milton — Paradise Lost. Bk. XII. 

Line 79. 

He will come to her in yellow stockings, 
and 'tis a colour she abhors ; and cross gar- 
tered, a fashion she detests. 

c. Twelfth Night. Act H. Sc. 5. 

Shall they hoist me up, 
And show me to the shouting varletry 
Of censuring Borne ? Bather a ditch in 

Egypt 
Be gentle grave unto me, rather on Nilus 

mud 
Lay me stark naked, and let the water-flies 
Blow me into abhorring ! 

d. Antony and Cleopatra. Act V. Sc. 2_ 

Therefore I say again, 
I utterly abhor, yea from my soul, 
Befuse you for my judge ; whom yet once 

more, 
I hold my most malicious foe, and think not 
At all a friend to truth. 

e. Henry VIII. Act II. Sc. 4. 

"Whilst I was big in clamour, came there in a 

man, 
Who having seen me in my worst estate, 
Shunn'd my abhorr'd society. 
/. King Lear. Act V. Sc. 3. 

For, if the worlds 
In worlds enclosed should on his senses 

burst, 
He would abhorrent turn. 

g. Thompson — The Seasons. Summer.

even in a regular way, ought to give us ground 
to presume ability.

of our abilities. 

i. Froude — Shori Studies on Great

within the scope of his abilities, and for no 
more, and none can tell whose sphere is the 
largest. 

j. Gail Hamilton — Country Living and 
Country Thinking. Men and Women. 

Conjugal affection 
Prevailing over fear and timorous doubt, 
Hath led me on, desirous to behold 
Once more thy face, and know of thy estate, 
If aught in my ability may serve 
To lighten what thou suffer'st, and appease 
Thy mind with what amends is in my power — 
Though late, yet in some part to recom 

pense 
My rash but more unfortunate misdeed. 
k. Milton — Samson Agonistes . Line 739. 

Whose skill was almost as great as his 
honesty ; had it stretched so far, would have 
made nature immortal, and death should 
have play for lack of work.

Sc. 1. 

Who does the best his circumstance allows, 

Does well, acts nobly ; angels could no more.

ABSENCE. 



ACTION. 



I spread my books, my pencil try, 

The lingering noon to cheer, 
But miss thy kind approving eye, 

Thy meek, attentive ear. 

But when of morn or eve the star 

Beholds me on my knee, 
I feel, though thou art distant far, 

Thy prayers ascend for me. 

a. Bishop Heber— Journal. 

In the hope to meet 
Shortly again, and make our absence sweet. 

b. Ben Jonson — Underwoods. 

Miscellaneous Poems, L VIII.

Still I see thee, still I hear ; 
Yet I cannot reach thee, dear ! 

c. Francis Kazinczi — Separation. 

What shall I do with all the days and hours 
That must be counted ere I see thy face ? 

How shall I charm the interval that lowers 
Between this time and that sweet time of 
grace ? 

d. Frances Anne Kemble — Absence. 

Since yesterday I have been in Alcala. 

Ere long the time will come, sweet Preciosa, 

When that dull distance shall no more divide 

us ; 
And I no more shall scale thy wall by night 
To steal a kiss from thee, as I do now. 

e. Longfellow — The Spanish Student. 

Act I. Sc. 3. 

Conspicuous by his absence. 
/. Lord John Russet.t, — Quoted from 

Tacitus. Annals, III., 76. 

All days are nights to see till I see thee, 
And nights bright days when dreams do show 
thee me. 
g. Sonnet XLII1. 

How like a winter hath my absence been 
From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year !

seen ! 
What old December's bareness everywhere.

Think that day lost whose (low) descending

Our fatal shadows that walk by us still. 
v. John Fletcher — Upon an Honest 

Man's Fortune. Line 37 

The doing right alone teaches the value or 
the meaning of right ; the doing it willingly, 
if the will is happily constituted ; the doing 
it unwillingly, or under compulsion, if per- 
suasion fails to convince. 

w. Feoude — Short Studies on Great 

Subjects. On Progress. Pt. LH. 

A fiery chariot, borne on buoyant pinions, 
Sweeps near me now ! I soon shall ready be 
To pierce the ether's high unknown 

dominions, 
To reach new spheres of pure activity. 
x. Goethe — Faust. 

That action is best which procures the 
greatest happiness for the greatest numbers,

Moral Good and Evil. Sec

the best interpreters of their thoughts.

Let us then be up and doing, 

With a heart for any fate ; 
Still achieving, still pursuing, 

Learn to labour and to wait.

well 
It were done quickly.

Action is eloquence, and the eyes of the 

ignorant 
More learned than the ears.

So smile the Heavens upon this holy act 
That after-hours with sorrow chide us not !

action.

The blood more stirs 
To rouse a lion, than to start a hare.

Things done well, 
And with a care, exempt themselves from fear; 
Things done without example, in their issue 
Are to be fear'd. 

m. Henry VIII. Act I. Sc. 2. 

We may not think the justness of each act 
Such and no other then event doth form it. 
n. Troilus and Oressida. Act II. Sc. 2. 

We must not stint 
Our necessary actions, in the fear 
To cope malicious censurers. 

o. Henry VIII. Act I. Sc. 2. 

Heaven never helps the men who will not act. 
p. Sophocles. Fragment 288. 



Bightness expresses of actions, what 
straightness does of lines ; and there can no 
more be two kinds of right action than there 
can be two kinds of straight line. 

q. Heebeet Spenceb — Social Statics, 

Ch. XXXH. Par. 4, 

Theirs not to make reply, 
Theirs not to reason why, 
Theirs but to do and die. 
r. Tennyson — The Charge of the Light 
Brigade. St. 2. 

A slender acquaintance with the world 
must convince every man, that actions, not 
words, are the true criterion of the attach- 
ment of friends ; and that the most liberal 
professions of good-will are very far from 
being the surest marks of it.

The motion of a muscle — this way or that.

u. Yoitng — Night Thoughts. Night VI. 

Line 606.

hours, the vivifying influence in man's life.

Green be the turf above thee, 

Friend of my better days !

We always like those who admire us, we 
do not always like those whom we admire. 
y. Rochefoucauld — Maxim 294. 

What you do 
Still betters what is done. When you speak, 

sweet, 
I'd have you do it ever. 

z. Winter's Tale. Act IV. Sc. 3. 

ADVERSITY. 

And these vicissitudes come best in youth ; 

For when they happen at a riper age, 
People are apt to blame the fates forsooth, 

And wonder Providence is not more sage. 
Adversity is the first path to truth : 

He who hath proved war, storm or woman's 
rage, 
Whether his winters be eighteen or eighty, 
Has won the experience which is deem'd so 
weighty. 
aa. Bybon — Don Juan. Canto Xn. 

St. 50. 



ADVERSITY 



AFFLICTION.

there are a hundred that will stand adver- 
sity.

No spicy fragrance while they grow ;

Diffuse their balmy sweets around.

Thou tamer of the hum;<,n breast, 
Whose iron scourge and tort'ring hour 
The bad affright, afflict the best ! 

c. Gray — Ode to Adversity. St. 1. 

In the adversity of our best friends we of- 
ten find something which does not displease 
us. 

d. Rochefoucauld — Reflections. XV. 

Bold adversity 
Cries out for noble York and Somerset, 
To beat assailing death from his weak legions. 
And whiles the honourable captain there 
Drops bloody sweat from his war wearied 
limbs. 

e. Henry VI. Pt. I. Act IV. Sc. 4. 

His overthrow heap'd happiness upon him ; 
For then, and not till then, he felt himself, 
And found the blessedness of being little. 
/. Henry VIII. Act IV. Sc. 2. 

Sweet are the uses of adversity ; 
"Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, 
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head. 
g. As You Like It. Act. II. Sc. 1. 

Then know, that I have little wealth to lose ; 
A man I am cross'd with adversity. 
h. Two Gentlemen of Verona. Act IV. 

Sc. 1. 

They can be meek that have no other cause, 
A wretched soul, bruis'd with adversity, 
We bid be quiet, when we hear it cry. 
i. Comedy of Errors. Act II. Sc. 1. 

ADVICE. 

The worst men often give the best advice : 
Our deeds are sometimes better than our 
thoughts. 
j. Batt.f.y — Festus. Sc. A Village Feast. 

She had a good opinion of advice, 
Like all who give and eke receive it gratis, 

For which small thanks are still the market 
price, 

Even where the article at highest rate is. 
k. Bybon — Don Juan. Canto XV. St. 29. 

Let him go abroad to a distant country ; 
let him go to some place where he is not 
known. Don't let him go to the devil where 
he is known. 

I. Sam'l Johnson— Boswell's Life of 

Johnso?i. 



Be loving and you will never want for 
love; be humble, and you will never want for 
guiding. 

m. D. M. Mulock— Olive. Ch. XXIV. 

Be niggards of advice on no pretense ; 
For the worst avarice is that of sense. 

n. Pope — Essay on Criticism. Line 578. 

Direct not him, whose way himself will 

choose ; 
'Tis breath thou lack'st, and that breath wilt 

thou lose, 
o. Richard II. Act H Sc. 1. 

Here comes a man of comfort, whose advice 
Hath often still'd my brawling discontent. 
p. Measure for Measure. Act IV. Sc. 1. 

I pray thee cease thy counsel, 

Which falls into mine ears as profitless 

As water in a sieve. 

q. Much Ado About Nothing. Act V. 

Sc. 1. 

When a wise man gives thee better coun-, 
sel, give me mine again. 

r. King Lear. Act II. Sc. 4. 

AFFECTION. 

Affection is the broadest basis of a good life, 
s. G-eobge Eliot — Daniel Deronda.

As for murmurs, mother, we grumble a little 
now and then to be sure. But there's no 
love lost between us. 

/. Goldsmith — She Stoops to Conquer. 

Act IV. 

Talk not of wasted affection, affection nevei 

was wasted ; 
If it enrich not the heart of another, its waters, 

returning 
Back to their springs, like the rain, shall fill 

them full of refreshment ; 
That which the fountain sends forth returns 

again to the fountain. 
u. Longfellow— Evangeline. Pt. H. St. 1. 

Affection is a coal that must be cool'd ; 
Else suffer'd it will set the heart on fire. 
v Venus and Adonis.

That he might not beteem the winds of 

heaven 
Visit her face too roughly.

Upon a wheel of fire ; that mine own tears 
Do scald like molten lead. 

c. King Lear. Act TV. Sc. 7. 

Affliction is not sent in vain 
From that good God who chastens whom he 
loves. 
c7. Southey— Madoc. Pt. III. Line 74. 

With silence only as their benediction, 

God's angels come 
Where in the shadow of a great affliction, 
The soul sits dumb ! 
e. Whtttiee — to my friend on the death 

of his sister. 

Affliction is the good man's shining scene ; 
Prosperity conceals his brightest ray ; 
As night to stars, woe lustre gives to man. 
/. Young— Night Thoughts. Night IX. 

Line 406. 

AGE (OLD.) 

Backward, flow backward, O tide of the years ! 
I am so weary of toil and of tears, — 
Toil without recompense, tears all in vain — 
Take them, and give me my childhood again ! 
g. Elizabeth Akers — Rock Me to Sleep. 

Weak withering age no rigid law forbids 
With frugal nectar, smooth and slow with 

balm 
The sapless habit daily to bedew, 
And give the hesitating wheels of life 
Glibblier to play. 
h. John Armstrong — Art of Preserving 
Health. Bk. H. Line 486 

Men of age object too much, consult too 
long, adventure too little, repent too soon, 
and seldom drive business home to the full 
period, but content themselves with a medi- 
ocrity of success. 

i. Bacon — Essay XLII. Of Youth and Age. 

Old age comes on apace to ravage all the 
clime. 
j. Beattte — The Minstrel. Bk. I. St. 25. 

To resist with success, the frigidity of old 
age, one must combine the body, the mind, 
and the heart ; to keep these in parallel 
vigor, one must exercise, study and love. 

k. Bonstetten — In Abel Stevens' 

Madame de Slael. Ch. XXVI. 

No chronic tortures racked his aged limb, 
For luxury and sloth had nourished none for 
him. 
1. Bryant — The Old Man's Funeral. 



Age shakes Athena's tower, but spares gray 
Marathon. 
m. Byron — Childe Harold. Canto II. 

St. 88. 

Just as old age is creeping on apace, 
And clouds come o'er the sunset of our day, 
They kindly leave us, though not quite alone, 
But in good company — the gout or stone. 
n. Byron— Don Juan. Canto III. 

St. 59. 

My days are in the yellow leaf ; 
The flowers and fruits of love are gone ; 
The worm, the canker, and the grief 
Are mine alone ! 

o. Byron — On my Thirty-sixth Year. 

Dark and despairing, my sight I may seal, 
But man cannot cover what God would 

reveal : 
'Tis the sunset of life gives me mystical lore, 
And coming events cast their shadows before. 
p. Campbell— Lochiel's Warning. 

Line 53. 

As I approve of a youth that has something 
of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased 
with an old man that has something of the 
youth. 

q. Cicero. 

Life's shadows are meeting Eternity's day.

Old Age. 

Old age is courteous — no one more : 
For time after time he knocks at the door, 
But nobody says, ' ' Walk in, sir, pray ! " 
Yet turns he not from the door away, 
But lifts the latch, and enters with speed, 
And then they cry, "A cool one, indeed." 
v. Goethe — Old Age. 

Alike all ages : dames of ancient days 

Have led their children through the mirthful 

maze, 
And the gay grandsire, skill'd in gestic lore, 
Has frisked beneath the burden of threescore. 
w. Goldsmith — The Traveller. Line 251. 

O blest retirement ! friend to life's decline — 
How blest is he who crowns, in shades like 

these, 
A youth of labour with an age of ease !

Forward ; and forward with them, draw my

I cease to do and be.

ANGLING. 

Of recreation there is none 
So free as fishing, is, alone ; 
All other pastimes, do no less 
Than mind and body, both possess : 

My hand alone my work can do ; 

So, I can fish and study too. 
r, William Basse — The Angler's Song. 

The first men that our Saviour dear 
Did choose to wait upon him here, 
Blest fishers were ; and fish the last 
Food was, that He on earth did taste : 
I therefore strive to follow those, 
Whom he to follow him hath chose. 
s. William Basse — The Angler's Song. 

In genial spring, beneath the quivering shade, 
Where cooling vapors breathe along the 

mead, 
The patient fisher takes his silent stand, 
Intent, his angle trembling in his hand ; 
With looks unmov'd, he hopes the scaly 

breed, 
And eyes the dancing cork, and bending 

reed. 
t. Pope— Windsor Forest. Line 135. 

Give me mine angle, we'll to the river; there, 
My music playing far off, I will betray 
Tawney-finn'd fishes ; my bended hook shall

a. Walton — The Complete Angler. 

The Author's Preface. 

Thus use your frog: put your hook, I mean 
the arming wire, through his mouth, and out 
at his gills, and then with a fine needle and 
silk sew the upper part of his leg with only 
one stitch to the arming wire of your hook, 
or tie the frog's leg above the upper joint to 
the armed wire ; and in so doing use him 
as though you loved him.

We may say of angling as Dr. Boteler said 
of strawberries : " Doubtless God could have 
made a better berry, but doubtless God never

did make a more calm, quiet, innocent re- 
creation than angling.

ART. 

The art of a thing is, first, its aim, and 
next, its manner of accomplishment. 

c. C. N. Bovee — Summaries of Thought. 

Art and Artists. 

Nature is not at variance with art, nor art 
with nature; they being both the servants of 
his providence. Art is the perfection of 
nature. Were the v.crl-" 1 r, w as it was the 
sixth day, there were yet a chaos. Nature 
hath made one world, and art another. In 
brief, all things are artificial; for nature is the 
art of God. 

d. Sib Thomas Browne — Eeligio Medici.

The conscious utterance of -thought by 
speech or action, to any end, is art. 
/. Emerson — Society and Solitude. Art. 

The power depends on the depth of the 
artist's insight of that object he contem- 
plates. 

g. Emerson — Essay on Art. 

The perfection of an art consists in the 
employment of a comprehensive system of 
laws, commensurate to every purpose within 
its scope, but concealed from the eye of the 
spectator ; and in the production of effects that 
seem to flow forth spontaneously, as though 
uncontrolled by their influence, and which 
are equally excellent, whether regarded in- 
dividually, or in reference to the proposed 
result. 

h. Good — The Book of Nature. Series I. 

Lecture IX. 

There are two kinds of artists in this 
world ; those that work because the spirit is 
in them, and they cannot be silent if they 
would, and those that speak from a conscien- 
tious desire to make apparent to others the 
beauty that has awakened their own admir- 
ation. 

i. Anna Katharine Green — The Sword 
of Damocles. Bk. I. Ch. Y. 

The temple of art is built of words. Paint- 
ing and sculpture and music are but the 
blazon of its windows, borrowing all their 
significance from the light, and suggestive 
only of the temple's uses. 

j. Holland — Plain Talks on Familiar 

Subjects. Art and Life. 



The one thing that marks the true artist is 
a clear perception and a firm, bold hand, in 
distinction from that imperfect mental vision 
and uncertain touch which give us the feeble 
pictures and the lumpy statues of the mere 
artisans on canvas or in stone,

Art in fact is the effort of man to express

power above Nature, whether that power be 
within the recesses of his own being, or in 
the Great First Cause of which Nature, like 
himself, is but the effect.

One of the first principles of decorative art 
is, that in all manufactures, ornament must

under green hedgerows, in the leafy lanes 
and by-paths of literature, — in the genial 
Summer-time.

I had rather be a kitten, and cry mew ! 
Than one of these same meter ballad-mongers.

I love a ballad but even too well; if it be 
doleful matter, merrily set down, or a very 
pleasant thing indeed, and sung lamentably.

BEAUTY. 

Beauty soon grows familiar to the lover,

BEAUTY. 



A thing of beauty is a joy for ever; 
Its loveliness increases ; it will never 
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep 
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep 
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet 
breathing. 

a. Keats — Endymlon. Bk. I. Line 1. 

Beauty is truth, truth beauty. 

b. Keats — Ode on a Grecian Urn. 

'Tis beauty calls, and glory shows the way. 

c. Nathaniel Lee — Alexander the Great. 

Act IV. Sc. 2. 

Beautiful in form and feature, 

Lovely as the day, 
Can there be so fair a creature 

Formed of common clay ? 

d. Longfellow — Masque of Pandora. 

The Workshop of Hephaestus. 
Chorus of the Graces. 

Blue were her eyes as the fairy-flax, 
Her cheeks like the dawn of day, 

And her bosom white as the hawthorn buds, 
That ope in the month of May. 

e. Longfellow — The Wreck of the 

Hesperus. St. 2. 

Beauty like wit, to judge should be shown; 
Both most are valued where they best are 
known. 
/. Ltttleton — Soliloquy of a Beauty. 

Line 11. 

O, thou art fairer than the evening air, 
Clad in the beauty of a thousand stars. 
g. Mablowe — Faustus. 

Beauty stands 
In the admiration only of weak minds 
Led captive; cease to admire, and all her 

plumes 
Fall flat, and shrink into a trivial toy, 
At every sudden slighting quite abash'd. 
h. Milton — Paradise Regained. Bk. II. 

Line 220. 

Beauty, which, neither waking or asleep, 
Shot forth peculiar graces. 
i. Milton — Paradise Lost. Bk. V. 

Line 14. 

Not more the rose, the queen of flowers, 
Outblushes all the bloom of boweri, 
Than she unrivall'd grace discloses 
The sweetest rose, where all are roses. 
j. Mooee — Odes of Anacreon. 

Ode LXVI. 

To weave a garland for the rose, 
And think thus crown'd 'twould lovelier be, 
Were far less vain than to suppose 
That silks and gems add grace to thee. 
k. Moobe — Songs from the Greek 

Anthology. To Weave a Garland. 

'Tis not a lip, or eye, we beauty call, 
But the joint force and full result of all.

Line 45. 
For when with beauty we can virtue join, 
We paint the semblance of a point divine.

Or youthful poets fancy when they love ?

is only the spell of the moment; the eye of

We shall as Truth in some hereafter know.

Beauty is a witch, 
Against whose charms faitji melteth into

s. Much Ado About Nothing. Act LT. 

Sc. L. 

Beauty is bought by judgment of the eye, 
Not utter'd by base sale of chapmen's 
tongues. 
t. Love's Labour's Lost. Act II. Sc. 1. 

Beauty is but a vain and doubtful good; 
A shining gloss that vadeth suddenly ; 
A flower that dies when first it 'gins to bud; 
A brittle glass that's broken presently ; 
A doubtful good, a gloss, a glass, a 

flower, 
Lost, vaded, broken, dead within an 
hour. 

And as goods lost are seld or never found, 
As vaded gloss no rubbing will refresh, 
As flowers dead lie wither'd on the ground, 
As broken glass no cement can redress, 

So beauty blemish'd once's forever lost, 
In spite of physic, painting, pain, and 
cost. 
u. The Passionate Pilgrim. St. 13. 

Beauty provoketh thieves sooner than gold, 
v. As You Like It. Act I. Sc. 3.

Is crimson in thy lips, and in thy cheeks, 
And death's pale flag is not advanced there,

It beggar'd all description. 

x. Antony and Cleopatra. Act II. Sc 2. 

Her beauty makes

And smooth as monumental alabaster.

The number of the chosen; and esteem 
Such scantiness of knowledge our delight: 
For all our good is, in that primal good, 
Concentrate; and God's will and ours are 
one.

Whiles all the night, through fog-smoke

eggs, 
And only just left them to stretch her poor 

legs, 
And pick for a minute the worm she preferred, 
Thought there never was seen such a beautiful 
bird.

The unnetted black-hearts ripen dark, 

All thine against the garden wall.

His ancient song of leaves, and summer boon;

And listen fondly — while the Blackbird sings.

Where notes of liquid utterance should en-

Thy bill, that now with pain scant forage earns.

List — 'twas the Cuckoo. O with what delignt 
Heard I that voice ! and catch it now, though 

faint, 
Far off and faint, and melting into air, 
Yet not to be mistaken. Hark again! 
Those louder cries give notice that the Bird, 
Although invisible as Echo's self, 
Is wheeling hitherward.

His soul and body to their lasting rest.

DOVE. 

Oh! when 'tis summer weather, 
And the yellow bee, with fairy sound, 
The waters clear is humming round, 
And the cuckoo sings unseen, 
And the leaves are waving green — 

Oh! then 'tis sweet, 

In some retreat, 
To hear the murmuring dove, 
With those whom on earth alone we love, 
And to wind through the greenwood together. 
q. Bowles— The Greenwood. 

The dove returning bore the mark 
Of earth restored to the long labouring ark; 
The relics of mankind, secure of rest, 
Oped every window to receive the guest, 
And the fair bearer of the message bless'd.

I heard a stock-dove sing or say 

His homely tale this very day; 

His voice was buried among trees, 

Yet to be come-at by the breeze: 

He did not cease; but cooed — and cooed; 

And somewhat pensively he wooed: 

He sang of love, with quiet blending, 

Slow to begin, and never ending; 

Of serious faith, and inward glee ; 

That was the song, — the song for me! 

d. Woedswobth. — Nightingale! Thou 

Surely Art. 

EAGLE. 

So the struck eagle, stretched upon the plain,

He clasps the crag with hooked hands ; 
Close to the sun in lonely lands,

He watches from his mountain walls, 
And like a thunderbolt he falls.

What honor hath humility.

Then, then, is the reign of the Horned Owl! 

c. Baeby Cornwall — The Owl. 

The startled bats flew out — bird after bird — 
The screech-owl overhead began to flutter, 
And seem'd to mock the cry that she had 

heard 
Some dying victim utter.

St. 2. 

St. Agnes' Eve — ah, bitter chill it was! 
The owl, for all his feathers, was a-cold.

Portends strange things, old women say 
Stops every fool that passes by, 
And frights the school-boy from his play.

When cats run home and light is come, 

And dew is cold upon the ground,

The white owl in the belfry sits.

BIBD OF PARADISE. 

Those golden birds that, in the spice time 
drop 

About the gardens, drunk with that sweet 
food 

Whose scent hath lur'd them o'er the sum-

Build their high nests of budding cinnamon,

PEACOCK. 

For everything seem'd resting on his nod, 
As they could read in all eyes. Now to them, 
Who were accustom'd, as a sort of god, 
To see the sultan, rich in many a gem, 
Like an imperial peacock stalk abroad 
(That royal bird, whose tail's a diadem,) 
With all the pomp of power, it was a doubt 
How power could condescend to do without. 
p. Bybon — Don Juan. Canto VII. 

St. 74. 

To frame the little animal, provide 

All the gay hues that wait on female pride: 

Let Nature guide thee; sometimes golden

fail, 
Nor the dear purchase of the sable's tale.

BIRDS— PELICAN. 



BIRDS— ROBIN. 



PELICAN. 

Nature's prime favourites were the Pelicans; 
High-fed, long-lived, and' sociable and free. 

a. Montgomery — Pelican Island. 

Canto V. Line 144. 

Nimbly they seized and secreted their prey, 
Alive and wriggling in the elastic net, 
Which nature hung beneath their grasping 

beaks; 
Till, swol'n with captures, the unwieldy bur- 
den 
Clogg'd their slow flight, as heavily to land, 
These mighty hunters of the deep return'd. 
There on the cragged cliffs they perch'd at 

ease, 
Gorging their hapless victims one by one; 
Then full and weary, side by side, they slept, 
Till evening roused them to the chase again. 

b. Montgomery — The Pelican Island. 

Canto LV. Line 141. 

The nursery of brooding Pelicans, 
The dormitory of their dead, had vanish 'd, 
And all the minor spots of rock and verdure, 
The abodes of happy millions, were no more. 

c. Montgomery — Pelican Island. 

Canto VI. Line 74. 



PHEASANT. 

See, from the brake the whirring pheasant 

springs, 
And mounts exulting on triumphant wings: 
Short is his joy; he feels the fiery wound, 
Flutters in blood, and panting beats the 

ground. 
d. Pope — Windsor Forest. Line 113. 



PIGEON. 

Wood-pigeons cooed there, stock-doves nes- 
tled there ; 
My trees"were full of songs and flowers and 

fruit, 
Their branches spread a city to the air. 

e. Christina G. Rossetti — From House 

to Home. St. 7. 

I have found out a gift for my fair ; 
I have found where the wood-pigeons breed. 
/. Shenstone — A Pastoral. Part H. 

Hope. 

On the cross-beam under the Old South bell 
The nest of a pigeon is builded well. 
In summer and winter that bird is there, 
Out and in with the morning air. 
g. Willis — The Belfry Pigeon. 

'Tis a bird I love, with its brooding note, 
And the trembling throb in its mottled throat; 
There's a human look in its swelling breast, 
And the gentle curve of its lowly crest; 
And I often stop with the fear I feel- 
He runs so close to the rapid wheel . 
h. Willis — The Belfry Pigeon. 



QUAIL. 

The song-birds leave us at the summer's 

close, 
Only the empty nests are left behind, 
And pipings of the quail among the sheaves. 
i. Longfellow — The Harvest Moon. 



RAVEN. 

The raven once in snowy plumes was drest, 
White as the whitest dove's unsully'd breast, 
Fair as the guardian of the Capitol, 
Soft as the swan; a large and lovely fowl; 
His tongue, his prating tongue had chang'd 

him quite 
To sooty blackness from the purest white. 
j. Addison — Translations. Ovid's 

Metamorphoses. Story of Coronis. 

The raven was screeching, the leaves fast 

fell, 
The sun gazed cheerlessly down on the 
sight. 
k. Heine — Book of Songs. Lyrical 

Interludes. No. 26. 

And the Raven, never flitting, 

Still is sitting, still is sitting 
On the pallid bust of Pallas 

Just above my chamber door; 

And his eyes have all the seeming 

Of a demon that is dreaming 

And the lamplight o'er him streaming 

Throws the shadow on the floor 
And my soul from out that shadow 

That lies floating on the floor, 

Shall be lifted — never more. 

I. Yob— The Baven. St. 18. 

Did ever raven sing so like a lark, 
That gives sweet tidings of the sun's uprise? 
m. Titus Andronicus. Act ILL Sc. 1. 

O, it comes o'er my memory, 
As doth the raven o'er the infectious house, 
Boding to all. 

n. Othello. Act LV. Sc. 1.

o. Hamlet. Act LLL Sc. 2. 

The raven himself is hoarse 
That croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan 
Under my battlements. 
p. Macbeth. Act I. Sc. 5. 

ROBIN. 

Poor Robin sits and sings alone, 

When showers of driving sleet, 
By the cold winds of winter blown, 

The cottage casement beat. 

q. Bowles — Winter. Bedbreasi. 

The wood-robin sings at my door. 
And her song is the sweetest I hear 

From all the sweet birds that incessantly 
pour 
Their notes through the noon of the year.

The redbreast oft, at evening hours, 

Shall kindly lend his little aid, 
With hoary moss, and gathered flowers, 

To deck the ground where thou art laid. 

a. William Collins— Odes. Dirge in 

Oymbeline. 

There scatter' d oft, the earliest of the year, 
By hands unseen, are showers of violets found; 
The Redbreast loves to build and warble 

there, 
And light footsteps lightly print the ground. 

b. Gbay — Elegy. Last St. {Early 

Edition.) 

Bearing His cross, while Christ passed forth 

forlorn, 
His God-like forehead by the mock crown 

torn, 
A little bird took from that crown one thorn. 
To soothe the dear Redeemer's throbbing 

head, 
That bird did what she could; His blood 'tis 

said, 
Down dropping, dyed her tender bosom red. 
Since then no wanton boy disturbs her nest; 
Weasel nor wild cat will her young molest; 
All sacred deem the bird of ruddy breast. 

c. Hoskyns-Abbahall — The Redbreast. 

A Briton Legend. In English 
Lyrics. 

The sobered robin, hunger-silent now, 
Seeks cedar-berries blue, his autumn cheer. 

d. Lowell — An Indian Summer Reverie. 

Poor robin, driven in by rain-storms wild 

To lie submissive under household hands 

With beating heart that no love understands, 

And scared eye, like a child 

Who only knows that he is all alone 

And summer's gone. 

e. D. M. Mulock — Summer Gone. St. 2. 

On fair Brittannia's isle, bright bird, 

A legend strange is told of thee, — 
'Tis said thy blithesome song was hushed 

While Christ toiled up Mount Calvary, 
Bowed 'neath the sins of all mankind; 

And humbled to the very dust 
By the vile cross, while viler man 

Mocked with a crown of thorns the Just. 
Pierced by our sorrows, and weighed down 

By our transgressions,— faint, and weak, 
Crushed by an angry Judge's frown, 

And agonies no word can speak, — 
'Twas then, dear bird, the legend says 

That thou, from out His crown, didst tear 
The thorns, to lighten the distress, 

And ease the pain that he must bear, 
While pendant from thy tiny beak 

The gory points thy bosom pressed, 
And crimsoned with thy Saviour's blood 

The sober brownness of thy breast ! 
Since which proud hour for thee and thine, 

As an especial sign of grace 
God pours like sacramental wine 

Red signs of favor o'er thy race! 

/. Delle W. Nobton — To the Robin 

Redbreast. 



The Robin-red-breast till of late had rest, 
And children sacred held a Martin's nest. 
g. Pope — Second Book of Horace. 

Satire II. Line 37, 

They'll come again to the apple tree — 

Robin and all the rest — 
When the orchard branches are fair to see 

In the snow of the blossoms dressed, 
And the prettiest thing in the world will be 

The building of the nest. 

h. Mabgaeet E. Sangster — The Building 
• of the Nest.

see, 
Through the wreathed lattice, golden day 

appear, 
There sits a robin on the old elm-tree, 
And with such stirring music fills my ear,

And feel again as I was wont to do, 
When hope was young, and life itself were 

new. 
k. Anna Mabia Wells— The Old Elm

Our little English robin; 
The bird that comes about our doors 
When Autumn winds are sobbing ?

the Butterfly. 

Now when the primrose makes a splendid 

show, 
And lilies face the March-winds in full blow, 
And humbler growths as moved with one 

desire 
Put on, to welcome spring, their best attire, 
Poor Robin is yet flowerless; but how gay 
With his red stalks upon this sunny day! 
m. Wobdswobth — Poor Robin. 

Stay, little cheerful Robin! stay, 

And at my casement sing, 
Though it should prove a farewell lay 

And this our parting spring.

Come, and my requiem sing, 
Nor fail to be the harbinger 

Of everlasting Spring.

quick cry 
Shrieks to the levelled weapon's echoing 

sound: 
Grasp its lank wing, and on, with reckless

Yet, creature of the surf, a sheltering breast 
To-night shall haunt in vain thy far-off

A call unanswered search the rocky ground.

A shadow on the snow.

Sparrow. 
In thy own sermon, thou 
That the sparrow falls dost allow, 
It shall not cause me any alarm,

Is by the sparrow's dying bed; 
Therefore it is a blessed place, 
And the sparrow in high grace.

Of all the birds upon that day, 
The swallow felt the deepest grief, 
And longed to give her Lord relief, 
And chirped when any near would come,

Oh, cool, oh, cool and comfort Him!

dark, dark, dark, amid the blaze of noon, 
Irrevocably dark ! total eclipse, 

Without one hope of day. 
/. Milton — Samson Agonistes. Line 80. 

He that is stricken blind, cannot forget 
The precious treasure of his eyesight lost. 
g. Borneo and Juliet. Act I. Sc. 1.

The thing became a trumpet, whence he

But the tender bloom of heart is gone, ere

A blush is no language: only a dubious 
flag-signal which may mean either of two 
contradictories .

Learning-Books. 

The books that charmed us in youth recall 
the delight ever afterwards; we are hardly 
persuaded there are any like them, any de- 
serving equally our affections. Fortunate if 
the best fall in our way during this suscepti- 
ble and forming period of our lives. 

i. Alcott — Table-Talk. Bk. I. 

Learning-Books. 

Books are delightful when prosperity hap- 
pily smiles; when adversity threatens, they 
are inseparable comforters. They give 
strength 5 to human compacts, nor are grave 
opinions brought forward without books. 
Arts and sciences, the benefits of which no 
mind can calculate, depend upon books. 

j. Bichakd Aungekvyle (Richard De 

Bury) — Phildbiblon. 

You, Books, are the golden vessels of 
the temple, the arms of the clerical militia 
with which the missiles of the most wicked

gaddi, fig-trees knowing no sterility ; burn- 
ing lamps to be ever held in the hand.

Worthy books 
Are not companions — they are solitudes:

Books, books, books ! 
I found the secret of a garret-room 
Piled high with cases in my father's name ; 
Piled high, packed large, — where, creeping 

in and out 
Among the giant fossils of my past, 
Like some small nimble mouse between the 

ribs 
Of a mastadon, I nibbled here and there 
At this or that box, pulling through the gap, 
In heats of terror, haste, victorious joy, 
The first book first. And how I felt it beat 
Under my pillow, in the morning's dark, 
An hour before the sun would let me read! 
My books! 

At last, because the time was ripe, 
I chanced upon the poets.

Bk. I. Line 830. 

We get no good

And calculating profits — so much help

W« gloriously forget ourselves, and plunge 
Soul-forward, headlong, into a book's pro-

'Tis then we get the right good from a book.

God be thanked for books. They are the 
voices of the distant and the dead, and make 
us heirs of the spiritual life of past ages. 
Books are the true levellers. They give to 
all, who will faithfully use them, the society, 
the spiritual presence of the best and great- 
est of our race. No matter how poor I am, 
no matter though the prosperous of my own 
time will not enter my obscure dwelling. If 
the sacred writers will enter and take up 
their abode under my roof, if Milton will 
cross my threshold to sing to me of Paradise, 
and Shakespeare, to open to me the worlds of 
imagination and the workings of the human 
heart, and Franklin to enrich me with his 
practical wisdom, I shall not pine for want 
■of intellectual companionship, and I may 
become a cultivated man though excluded 
from what is called the best society, in the 
place where I live.

It is chiefly through books that we enjoy in-

It is saying less than the truth to affirm, 
that an excellent book (and the remark holds

when life culminated are usually associated

b. Emerson — Letters and Social Aims. 

Quotation and Originality. 

There are many virtues in books — but the 
essential value is the adding of knowledge to 
our stock, by the record of new facts, and, 
better, by the record of intuitions, which dis- 
tribute facts, and are the formulas which 
supersede all histories.

and the antidote should be changed accord-

h. Goldsmith — The Citizen of the World. 
Letter LXXV. 

I armed her against the censures of the

Books have always a secret influence on 
the understanding; we cannot at pleasure 
obliterate ideas: he that reads books of sci- 
ence, though without any desire of improve- 
ment, will grow more knowing ; he that 
entertains himself with moral or religious 
treatises, will imperceptibly advance in 
goodness; the ideas which are often offered 
to the mind, will at last find a lucky moment 
when it is disposed to receive them.

As companions and acquaintances books 
are without rivals; and they are companions 
and acquaintances to be had. at all times and 
under all circumstances. They are never 
out when you knock at the door; are never 
"not at home" when you call. In the 
lightest as well as in the deepest moods they 
may be applied to, and will never be found 
wanting. In the good sense of the phrase, 
they are all things to all men, and are faith- 
ful alike to all. 

a. Langfoed — The Praise of Books. 

Preliminary Essay. 

As friends and companions, as teachers 
and consolers, as recreators and amusers 
books are always with us, and always ready 
to respond to our wants. We can take them 
with us in our wanderings, or gather them 
around us at our firesides. In the lonely 
wilderness, and the crowded city, their 
spirit will be with us, giving a meaning to 
the seemingly confused movements of 
humanity, and peopling the desert with their 
own bright creations. 

b. Langfoed — The Praise of Books. 

Preliminary Essay. 

A wise man will select his books, for he 
would not wish to class them all under the 
sacred name of friends. Some can be ac-

cherished as his most precious possessions. 
Others to be chatted with for a time, to spend 
a few pleasant hours with, and laid aside, 
but not forgotten.

Preliminary Essay. 

Books are friends, and what friends they 
are ! Their love is deep and unchanging; 
their patience inexhaustible; their gentle- 
ness perennial ; their forbearance unbounded ; 
and their sympathy without selfishness. 
Strong as man, and tender as woman, they 
welcome you in every mood, and never turn 
from you in distress. 

e. Langfoed — The Praise of Books. 

Preliminary Essay. 

Books are friends which every man may 
call his own. * * * * The friendship 
ot books never dies; it grows by use, increases 
by distribution, and possesses an immortali- 
ty of perpetual youth. It is the friendship, 
not of " dead things " but of ever-living 
souls; and books are friends who, under no 
circumstances, are ever applied to in vain. 
They can be relied on, whoever else, or what- 
ever else may fail.

Are touched with a desire to shield and

Now moved with pity ; even as sometimes

Compassion breathes along the savage mind.

CALUMNY. 

Whenever you would ruin a person or a 
government, you must begin by spreading 
calumnies to defame them. 

d. BUSENBATJM. 

Calumny is only the noise of madmen. 

e. Diogenes. 

A nickname a man may chance to wear 
out ; but a system of calumny, pursued by 
a faction, may descend even to posterity. 
This principle has taken full effect on this 
state favorite. 
/. Isaac Diseaeli — Amenities of 

Literature. The First Jesuits in 
England. 

There are calumnies against which even 
innocence loses courage. 
ij. Napoleon. 

Be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, 
thou shalt not escape calumny. 
h. Hamlet. Act III. Sc. 1. 

Calumny will sear 
Virtue itself ; — these shrugs, these hums, and 
ha's. 
i. Winter's Tale. Act II. Sc. 1. 

No might nor greatness in mortality 
Can censure 'scape ; back-wounding calumny 
The whitest virtue strikes. 
j. Measure for Measure. Act III. Sc. 2. 

Virtue itself 'scapes not calumnious strokes. 
k. Hamlet. Act I. Sc. 3. 



CANDOR. 

Candor is the seal of a noble mind, the 
ornament and pride of man, the sweetest 
charm of woman, the scorn of rascals, and 
the rarest virtue of sociability. 

/. Bentzel-Stebnau, 

As frank as rain 
On cherry blossoms. 

m. E. B. Bbowntn* — Aurora Leigh. 

Bk. in. 



Give me the avowed, the erect, the manly

Save, save, oh ! save me from the candid 

friend,

CARE. 

Begone, dull Care, I prithee begone from me ; 
Begone, dull Care, thou and I shall never 
agree. 
Begone, old Care. 
o. Playfobds Musical Companion. 

Care is no care, but rather a corrosive, 
For things that are not to be remedied. 
p. Henry VI. Pt. I. Act in. Sc. 3. 

Care keeps his watch in every old man's eye, 
And where care lodges, sleep will never lie : 
But where unbruised youth with unstuff d 

brain 
Doth couch his limbs, there golden sleep 

doth reign. 
5. Borneo and Juliet. Act II. Sc. 3. 

He cannot long hold out these pangs ; 
The incessant care and labour of his mind 
Hath wrought the mure, that should confine 

it in, 
So thin, that life looks through and will 
break out. 
r. Henry IV. Pt. H. Act IV. Sc. i. 

I am sure, care's an enemy to life. 
s. Twelfth Night. Act I. Sc. 3. 

polished perturbation ! golden care ! 
That keep'st the ports of slumber open wide 
To many a watchful night. 

t. Henry IV. Pt. H. Act IV. Sc. 4. 

Some must watch, while some must sleep ; 
So runs the world away. 

u. Hamlet. Act HI. Sc. 2.

And weep away the life of care 
Which I have borne, and yet must bear.

All these you may avoid, but the Lie direct; 
and you may avoid that too, with an If. I 
knew when seven justices could not take up 
a quarrel; but when the parties were met

as, If you said so, then I said so; and they 
shook hands, and swore brothers. Your If is 
the only peace-maker; much virtue in If.

O ceremony, show me but thy worth ! 

What is thy soul of adoration ? 

Art thou aught else but place, degree, and

That private men enjoy ? 

And what have kings that privates have not

CHARACTER. 



CHARACTER 



Every man has at times in his mind the 
Ideal of what he should be, but is not. This 
ideal may be high and complete, or it may 
be quite low and insufficient; yet in all men 
that really seek to in prove, it is better than 
the actual character. * * * Man never 
falls so low, that he can see nothing higher 
than himself. 

a. Theodore Pabkeb — Critical and 

Miscellaneous Writings. Essay I. 

Yet, if he would, man cannot live all to 
this world. If not religious, he will be 
superstitious. If he worship not the true 
God, he will have his idols. 

b. Theodore Parker — Critical and 

Miscellaneous Writings. Essay I. 

Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the 
soul. 

c. Pope — Rape of the Lock. Canto V. 

Line 123. 

Heav'n forming each on other to depend, 
A master, or a servant, or a friend, 
Bide each on other for assistance call, 
Till one Man's weakness grows the strength 
of all. 

d. Pope— Essay on Man. Ep. IL 

Line 250. 

Matchless his pen, victorious was his lance, 
Bold in the lists, and graceful in the dance, 

e. Pope— Windsor Forest. Line 293. 

Men, some to business, some to pleasure 

take; 
But every woman is at heart a rake. 
Men, some to quiet, some to public strife ; 
But every lady would be queen for life. 
/. Pope — Moral Essays. Ep. IL 

Line 215. 

Oh ! blest with temper, whose unclouded ray 
Can make to-morrow cheerful as to-day; 
She, who can own a sister's charms, and hear 
Sighs for a daughter with unwounded ear ; 
She who ne'er answers till a husband cools, 
And if she rules him, never shows she rules. 
g. Pope — Moral Essays. Ep. II. 

Line 257. 

See the same man, in vigour, in the gout; 
Alone, in company; in place or out: 
Early at Bus'ness and at Hazard late; 
Mad at a Fox-chase, wise at a debate; 
Drunk at a borough, civil at a Ball ; 
Friendly at Hackney, faithless at Whitehall. 
h. Pope — Moral Essays. Ep. I. Line 71. 

'Tis from high Life high Characters are 

drawn; 
A Saint in Crape is twice a Saint in Lawn ; 
A Judge is just, a Chanc'llor juster still; 
A Gown-man, learn'd; a Bishop, what you 

will; 
Wise, if a minister; but, if a King, 
More wise, more learn'd, more just, more 

ev'ry thing. 
i Pope — Moral Essays. Ep. I. 

Line 135. 



Virtuous and vicious ev'ry Man must be, 
Few in th' extreme, but all in the degree; 
The rogue and fool by fits is fair and wise; 
And ev'n the best, by fits, what they despise.

So never made themselves a foe.

chime of sweet Saint Charity, 

Peal soon that Easter morn 
When Christ for all shall risen be, 

And in all hearts new-born ! 
That Pentecost when utterance clear 

To all men shall be given, 
When all can say My Brother here, 

And hear My Son in heaven ! 

e. Lowell — Godminster Chimes. 

The soul of the truly benevolent man does 
not seem to reside much in its own body. 
Its life, to a great extent, is a mere reflex of 
the lives of others. It migrates into their 
bodies, and, identifying its existence with 
their existence, finds its own happiness in 
increasing and prolonging their pleasures, in 
extinguishing or solacing their pains.

Broad are these streams — my steed obeys, 

Plunges, and bears me through the tide.

O'er woody vale and grassy height; 
And kind the voice, and glad the eyes 

That welcome my return at night.

Will dare to soil her virgin purity.

Thou openest the mysterious gate 
Into the future's undiscovered land.

Around me, and a dying Glory smiles 
O'er the far times when many a subject land 
Look'd to the winged Lion's marble piles, 
Where Venice sate in state, throned on her 
hundred isles !

And the busy hum of men. 

e. Milton — L' Allegro. Line 117.

How Eome her own sad Sepulchre appears,

The very Tombs now vanish'd like their dead!

I am in Rome ! Oft as the morning ray 
Visits these eyes, waking at once I cry, 
Whence this excess of joy? What has be-

And from within a thrilling voice replies, 
Thou art in Rome ! A thousand busy 

thoughts 
Rush on my mind, a thousand images; 
And I spring up as girt to run a race!

CLOUDS. 

O it is pleasant, with a heart at ease, 
Just after sunset, or by moonlight skies, 
To make the shifting clouds be what you 

please, 
Or let the easily-persuaded eyes 
Own each quaint likeness issuing from the 

mould 
Of a friend's fancy.

Who tinged these clouds with gold. 

s. Scott — The Setting Sun. 

Yon towers, whose wanton tops do buss the

t. TroUus and Cressida. Act TV. Sc. 5. 

I bring fresh showers for the thirsting 
flowers, 
From the seas and the streams; 
I bear light shade for the leaves when laid 

In their noonday dreams. 
From my wings are shaken the dews that 
waken 

The sweet birds every one, 
When rocked to rest on their mother'? 
breast, 
As she dances about the sun. 
I wield the flail of the lashing hail, 

And whiten the green plains under, 
And then again I dissolve it in rain, 

And laugh as I pass in thunder. 
u. Shelley— The Cloud.. St. 1. 

Yonder cloud 
That rises upward always higher, 
And onward drags a laboring breast, 
And topples round the dreary west, 
A looming bastion fringed with fire.

Wafted the traveller to the beauteous West.

O drooping souls, whose destinies 

Are fraught with fear and pain, 

Ye shall be loved again. 

i. Longfellow — Endymion. St. 7. 

Earth gets its price for what Earth gives us; 

The beggar is taxed for a corner to die in, 
The priest hath his fee who comes and 
shrives us, 

We bargain for the graves we lie in ; 
At the devil's booth are all things sold, 
Each ounce of dross costs its ounce of gold ; 

For a cap and bells our lives we pay, 
Bubbles we buy with a whole soul's tasking : 

'Tis heaven alone that is given away, 
'Tis only God may be had for the asking, 
No price is set on the lavish summer; 
June may be had by the poorest comer. 

i. Lowell — The Vision of Sir Launfal. 
Prelude to Pt. I. 



When fate has allowed to any man mow

seems usually to contrive that one shall en

COMPLIMENTS. 

Though all compliments are lies, yet be- 
cause they are known to be such, nobody 
depends on them, so there is no hurt in them: 
you return them in the same manner you re- 
ceive them ; yet it is best to make as few as 
one can. 

m. Lady Gethin. 

A compliment is usually accompanied with 
a bow, as if to beg pardon for paying it.

So many hollow compliments.

u. George Eliot — The Mill on the Floss. 
Bk. Y. Ch. VI. 

When self-esteem expresses itself in con- 
tempt of another, be it the meanest, it must 
be repellant. A flippant, frivolous man may 
ridicule others, may controvert them, scorn

thinking meanly of others.

CONSCIENCE. 

A good conscience is to the soul what 
health is to the body: it preserves a constant 
ease and serenity within us, and more than 
countervails all the calamities and affliction -; 
which can possibly befal us. I know noth- 
ing so hard for a generous mind to get over 
as calumny and reproach, and cannot find 
any method of quieting the soul under them, 
besides this single one, of our being con- 
scious to ourselves that we do not deserve 
them. 

u. Addison — The Guardian. No. 135.

From wandering on a foreign strand!

Courage the highest gift, that scorns to bend 

To mean devices for a sordid end. 

Courage — an independent spark from Heav-

By which the soul stands raised, triumphant^, 
high, alone. 

Great in itself, not praises of the crowd, 

Above all vice, it stoops not to be proud. i

By which those great in war, are great in love. 

The spring of all brave acts is seated here, 

As falsehoods draw their sordid birth from 

fear.

The mantle of its mystery, and shown 
The ghastly form with which it now returns 
When its scared game is roused, cheering the 

hounds 
Of conscience to their prey !

CRITICISM. 

When I read rules of criticism I inquire 
immediately after the works of the author 
who has written them, and by that means 
discover what it is he likes in a composition. 

m. Addison — Guardian. No. 115. 

He was in Logic a great critic, 
Profoundly skill'd in Analytic ; 
He could distinguish, and divide 
A hair 'twixt south and south-west side, 
n. Butlek — Hudibras. Pt. I. Canto I. 

Line 65. 

A man must serve his time to every trade, 
Save censure — critics all are ready made. 
Take hackney'd jokes from Miller, got by 

rote, 
With just enough of learning to misquote; 
A mind well skill'd to find or forge a fault, 
A turn for punning, call it Attic salt; 
To Jeffrey go, be silent and discreet, 
His pay is just ten sterling pounds per sheet; 
Fear not to lie, 'twill seem a lucky hit; 
Shrink not from blasphemy, 'twill pass for 

wit; 
Care not for feeling — pass your proper jest, 
And stand a critic, hated yet caress'd. 
o. Bybon — English Bards and Scotch 

Reviewers. Line 63. 

As soon 
Seek roses in December — ice in June, 
Hope, constancy in wind, or corn in chaff; 
Believe a woman or an epitaph, 
Or any other thing that's false, before 
You trust in critics. 
p. Bykon — English Bards and Scotch 

Reviewers. Line 75. 

A servile race 
Who, in mere want of fault, all merit place; 
Who blind obedience pay to ancient schools, 
Bigots to Greece, and slaves to rusty rules.

But spite of all the criticizing elves, 
Those who would make us feel — must feel

They damn those authors whom they never 
read. 
s. Chtjbchjll — The Candidate. Line 57. 

Too nicely Jonson knew the critic's part, 
Nature in him was almost lost in art.

There are some critics so with spleen dis-

Who pleases one against his will.

CRITICISM. 



I would beg the critics to remember, that 
Horace owed his favour and his fortune to 
the character given of him by Yirgil and 
Varus; that Fundamus and Pollio are still 
valued by what Horace says of them; and j 
that, in their golden age, there was a good 
understanding among the ingenious; and 
those who were the most esteemed, were the 
best natured.

Roscommon) — Preface to Horace's

Reviewers are forever telling authors, they 
can't understand them. The author might 
often reply : Is that my fault ? 

A,. J. C. and A. W. Haee— Guesses at 

Truth. 

The readers and the hearers like my books, 
But yet some writers cannot them digest; 
But what care I ? for when I make a feast, 
I would my guests should praise it, not the 
cooks. 
i. Sir John Habbington — Against 

Writers that Carp at other Men's 
Books. 

Critics are sentinels in the grand army of 
letters, stationed at the corners of newspa- 
pers and reviews, to challenge every new 
author. 

j. Longfellow — Kavanagh. Ch. XIII. 

The strength of criticism lies only in the 
weakness of the thing criticised,

With the same spirit that its author writ : 
Survev the Whole, nor seek slight faults to-

Be not the first by whom the new are tryd,

For I am nothing if not critical. 

a. Othello. Act II. Sc. 1. 

In such a time as this it is not meet

b. Julius Ccesar. Act IV. Sc. 3. 



'Tis a physic 
That's bitter to sweet end. 
c. Measure for Measure. 



Act IV. Sc.6. 



For, poems read without a name 
We justly praise, or justly blame; 
And critics have no partial views, 
Except they know whom they abuse. 
And since you ne'er provoke their spite, 
Depend upon't their judgment's right. 

d. Jonathan Swift — On Poetry. 

How commentators each dark passage shun, 
And hold their farthing candle to the sun.

It's not the linen you're wearing out. 
But human creatures' lives.

gave pleasure to the spectators.

As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods; 
They kill us for their sport. 
j. King Lear. Act IV. Sc. 1. 

If ever, henceforth, thou 
These rural latches to his entrance open, 
Or hoop his body more with thy embraces,

As thou art tender to't. 

k. Winter's Tale. Act IV. Sc. 3.

CURIOSITY. 

I loathe that low vice, Curiosity. 

o. Byron — Bon Juan. Canto I. St. 23 

The poorest of the sex have still an itch 
To know their fortunes, equal to the rich. 
The dairy-maid inquires, if she shall take 
The trusty tailor, and the cook forsake.

Line 762. 

Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no 
fibs. 
q. Goldsmith — She Stoops to Conquer. 

Act IH. 
I saw and heard, for we sometimes 
Who dwell this wild, constrained by want, 

come forth 
To town or village nigh (nighest is far), 
Where aught we hear, and curious are to hear, 
What happens new; fame also finds us out. 
r. Milton — Paradise Regained. Bk. I. 

Line 330. 

Preach as I please, I doubt our curious men. 
s. Pope — Second Book of Horace. 

Satire XI. Line 17. 

I have perceived a most faint neglect of 
late; which I have rather blamed as mine 
own jealous curiosity, than as a very pretence 
and purpose of unkindness. 

t. King Lear. Act I. Sc. 4. 

They mocked thee for too much curiosity. 
u. Timon of Athens. Act IV. Sc. 3. 

I have seen 
A curious child, who dwelt upon a tract 
Of inlaid ground, applying to his ear 
The convolutions of a smooth-lipped shell; 
To which, in silence hushed, his very soul 
Listened intensely. 
v. Woedswoeth — The Excursion. Bk. 6. 

CUSTOM. 

Great things astonish us, and small dis- 
hearten: Custom makes both familiar. 

w. De La Beuyeee — The Characters or 
Manners of the Present Age. 
Vol. II. Ch. H. 
Man yields to custom, as he bows to fate, 
In all things ruled — mind, body, and estate; 
In pain, in sickness, we for cure apply 
To them we know not, and we know not why. 

x. Ceabbe — Tale. The Gentleman Farmer. 

And to my mind, though I am a native here, 
And to the manner born, it is a custom 
More honor'd in the breach than the observ- 
ance. 
Hamlet.

Custom calls me to 't :- 



What custom "wills, in all things should we

For truth to overpeer.

New customs, 
Though they be never so ridiculous, 
Nay, let 'em be unmanly, yet are followed.

That to the use of actions fair and good 
He likewise gives a frock, or livery, 
That aptly is put on.

DARKNESS. 

The world was void, 
The popukras and the powerful was a lump, 
Seasonless, herbless, treeless, manless, life- 
less — 
A lump of death — a chaos of hard clay. 
The rivers, lakes, and ocean all stood still, 
And nothing stirr'd within their silent 

depths; 
Ships sailorless lay rotting on the sea, 
And their masts fell down piecemeal; as 

they dropp'd 
They slept on the abyss without a surge — 
The waves were dead; the tides were in their 

grave, 
The Moon, their mistress, had expired be- 
fore; 
The winds were wither'd in the stagnant air, 
And the clouds perish'd! Darkness had no 

need 
Of aid from them — She was the Universe! 
/. Bvbon — Darkness. 

The prayer of Ajax was for light; 
Through all that dark and desperate fight, 
The blackness of that noonday night. 
g . Longfellow — The Goblet of Life. 

Brief as the lightning in the collied night, 
That, in a spleen, unfolds both heaven and 

earth , 
And ere a man had power to say, — Behold! 
The jaws of darkness do devour it up. 
h. Midsummer Night's Dream. Act I. 

Sc. 1. 
I charge thee, Satan, hous'd within this man, 
To yield possession to my holy prayers, 
And to thy state of darkness hie thee 

straight; 
I conjure thee by all the saints in heaven. 
i. Comedy of Errors. Act IV. Sc. 4. 

The charm dissolves apace; 
And as the morning steals upon the night, 
Melting the darkness, so their rising senses 
Begin to chase the ignorant fumes that 

mantle 
Their clearer reason. 
/. Tempest. Act V. Sc. 1. 



DAY. 

Day is a snow-white Dove of heaven, 
That from the east glad message brings: 

Night is a stealthy, evil Raven, 

Wrapt to the eyes in his black wings. 
k. Aldeich— Day and Night. 

The long days are no happier than the short 
ones. 
I. Bailey— Festus. Sc. A Village Feast. 

Out of Eternity this new day was born; 
Into Eternity it might well return. 
mi. Cablyle — To-Day. 

I count my time by times that I meet thee; 
These are my yesterdays, my morrows, noons 
And nights, these are my old moons and my 

new moons. 
Slow fly the hours, fast the hours flee, 
If thou art far from or art near to me: 
If thou art far, the bird's tunes are no tunes; 
If thou art near, the wintrj* days are Junes — 
Darkness is light and sorrow cannot be. 
Thou art my dream come true, and thou my 

dream, 
The air I breathe, the world wherein I dwell, 
My journey's end thou art, and thou the way; 
Thou art what I would be, yet only seem ; 
Thou art my heaven and thou art my hell; 
Thou art my ever-living judgment day. 
n. Gilder— The New Day. Pt. IV. 

Sonnet VI 

Sweet day, so cool, so calm so bright, 
The bridal of the earth and sky, 
The dew shall weep thy fall to-night; 
For thou must die. 

o. Herbert — The Temple. Virtue. 



O sweet, delusive noon, 

Which the morning climbs to find; 
O moment sped too soon, 

And morning left behind.

DEATH.

Blest power of sunshine!— genial Day, 
What balm, what life is in thy ray! 
To feel there is such real bliss, 
That had the world no joy but this, 
To sit in sunshine calm and sweet, — 
It were a world too exquisite 
For man to leave it for the gloom, 
The deep, cold shadow, of the tomb. 

a. Moore — Lalla Rookh. The Fire 

Worshippers. 
O how glorious is Noon-day! 
With the cool large shadows lying 
Underneath the giant forest, 
The far hill-tops towering dimly 

O'er the conquered plains below. 

b. D. M. Mulock — A Stream's Singing. 

How troublesome is day! 

It calls us from our sleep away; 

It bids us from our pleasant dreams awake, 

And sends us forth to keep or break 

Our promises to pay; 
How troublesome is day! 

c. Thomas Love Peacock — Fly-By- 

Night. (Paper Money Lyrics. ) 
O, such a day, 
So fought, so follow'd and so fairly won. 

d. Henry IV. Pt. II. Act I. Sc. 1. 

The sun is in the heaven, and the proud day, 
Attended with the pleasures of the world, 
Is all too wanton. 

e. King John. Act III. Sc. 3. 

What hath this day deserv'd ? what hath it 

done; 
That it in golden letters should be set, 
Among the high tides in the kalendar?

Death is the universal salt of states; 
Blood is the base of all things — law and war. 
p. Battyky — Fesius. Sc. A Country Town^ 

The death-change comes".. 
Death is another life. We bow our heads 
At going out, we think, and enter straight 
Another golden chamber of the king's 
Larger than this we leave, and lovelier. 
And then in shadowy glimpses, disconnect, 
The story, flower like, closes thus its leaves. 
The will of God is all in all. He makes, 
Destroys, remakes, for His own pleasure alL

And beauty immortal awakes from the tomb,

Death hath so many doors to let out life, 
s. Beaumont and Fletcher— The 

Custom of the Country. Act. II. 
Sc. 2. 

How shocking must thy summons be, O 

Death! 
To him that is at ease in his possessions? 
Who, counting on long years of pleasure 

here, 
Is quite unfurnish'd for that world to come ! 
t. Blair— The Grave. Line 3. 

Sure 'tis a serious thing to die! My soul, 
What a strange moment must it be, when 

near 
Thy journey's end, thou hast the gulf in 

view! 
That awful gulf no mortal e'er repass'd 
To tell what's doing on the other side. 
Nature runs back, and shudders at the sight, 
And every life-string bleeds at thoughts at 

parting ; 
For part they must: body and soul must 

part; 
Fond couple! link'd more close than wedded 

pair. 
This wings its way to its Almighty Source, 
The witness of its actions, now its judge; 
That drops into the dark and noisome grave. 
Like a disabled pitcher of no use. 
u. Blair— The Grave. Line 334. 

All that tread 
The globe are but a handful to the tribes 
That slumber in its bosom.

Except the love of God, which shall live and

Some men make a womanish complaint 
that it is a great misfortune to die before our 
time. I would ask what time? Is it that of 
Nature ? But she indeed, has lent us life, as 
"we do a sum of money, only no certain day 
is fixed for payment. What reason then to 
complain if she demands it at pleasure, since

The merry merry lark was up and singing, 

And the hare was out and feeding on the

And the m erry merry bells below were ringing, 

When my child's laugh rang through me.

And the lark beside the dreary winter sea; 
And the baby in his cradle in the churchyard 

Sleeps sound till the bell brings me.

Than, facing fearful odds, 
For the ashes of his fathers 

And the temples of his gods?

A quicksand of deceit. 
bb. Henry VI. Pt. HI. Act V. Sc. 4. 

Beguiles him, as the mournful crocodile

Here we wander in illusions ; 
Some blessed power deliver us from hence; 

a. Comedy of Errors. Act IV. Sc. 3. 

His promises were, as lie then was, mighty; 
But his performance, as he is now, nothing. 

b. Henry VIII. Act IV. Sc. 2. 

Led so grossly by this meddling priest, 
Dreading the curse that money may buy out. 

c. King John. Act III. Sc. 1. 

Make the Moor thank me, love me, and re- 
ward me, 
For making him egregiously an ass. 

d. Othello. Act II. Sc. 1.

In such a gorgeous palace ! 

e. Romeo and Juliet. Act III. Sc. 2. 

The instruments of darkness tell us truths; 
Win us with honest trifles, to betray us 
In deepest consequence. 
/. Macbeth. Act I. Sc. 3. 

There's neither honesty, manhood, nor 
good fellowship in thee. 

g. Henry IV. Pt. H. Act L Sc. 2. 

The world is still deceiv'd with ornament. 
In law, what plea so tainted and corrupt, 
But, being season'd with a gracious voice, 
Obscures the show of evil ? In religion, 
What damned error, but some sober brow 
Will bless it, and approve it with a text, 
Hiding the grossness with fair ornament? 
h. Merchant of Venice. Act III. Sc. 2. 



They fool me to the top of my bent, 
come by and by. 
i. Hamlet. Act HI. Sc. 2. 



I will 



Thus much of this, will make 
Black, white; foul, fair; wrong, right; 
Base, noble; old, young; coward, valiant. 
Ha, you gods! why this? 
j. Timon of Athens. Act IV. Sc. 3. 

Why, I can smile, and murther whiles I 

smile; 
And cry, content to that which grieves my 

heart; 
And wet my cheeks with artificial tears, 
And frame my face to all occasions. 
k. Henry VI. Pt. HI. Act IH. Sc. 2. 

With one auspicious, and one dropping eye; 
With mirth in funeral, and with dirge in 

marriage, 
In equal scale weighing delight and dole. 
I. Hamlet. Act I. Sc. 2. 

Yes, this is life; and everywhere we meet, 

Not victor crowns, but wailings of defeat.

DECISION. 

Decide not rashly. The decision made 
Can never be recalled. The gods implore not. 
Plead not, solicit not ; they only otter 
Choice and occasion, which once being passed 
Return no more. Dost thou accept the gilt? 
p. Longfellow — Masque of Pah 

Tower of Prometheus oa Mount 
Caucasus, 

Once to every man and nation, come the 

moment to decide, 
In the strife of Truth with Falsehood, for the 

good or evil side.

Men must be decided on what they will 
not do, and then they are able to act with 
vigor in what they ought to do.

Pleasure and revenge, 
Have ears more deaf than adders to the voice 
Of any true decision.

Deeds which are harvest for Eternity!

Are our doomsmen. Man's life was made 
Not for men's creeds, 
But men's actions. 
x. Owen Meredith — Lucile. Pt. H. 

Canto V. St. 8. 

I on the other side 
Us'd no ambition to commend my deeds,

A deed without a name. 

a. Macbeth. Act IV. Sc. 1. 

Erom lowest place when virtuous things pro- 
ceed, 

The place is dignified by the doer's deed: 

Where great additions swell, and virtue 
none, 

It is a dropsied honour ; good alone 

Is good without a name. 

b. All's Well That Ends Well. Act II. 

Sc. 3. 

Go in, and cheer the town; we'll forth, and 

fight; 
Do deeds worth praise, and tell you them at 

night. 

c. Troilus and Cressida. Act V. Sc. 3. 

He covets less 
Than misery itself would give; rewards 
His deeds with doing them ; and is content 
To spend the time, to end it. 

d. Coriolanus. Act II. Sc. 2. 

I give thee thanks in part of thy deserts, 
And will with deeds requite thy gentleness . 

e. Titus Andronicus. Act I. Sc. 2. 

I never saw 
Such noble fury in so poor a thing; 
Such precious deeds in one that promis'd

/. Cymbeline. Act V. Sc. 5. 

The flighty purpose never is o'ertook, 
Unless the deed go with it.

And that, in guess, they measure by thy 
deeds.

DELIGHT. 

I am convinced that we have a degree of 
delight, and that no small one, in the real 
misfortunes and pains of others. 

i. Bubke — The Sublime and Beautiful. 

Pt. I. Sec. 14. 

In this fool's paradise he drank delight. 
j. Crabbe — The Borough Foyers. 

Letter XII. 

These violent delights have violent ends, 
And in their triumph die; like fire and pow- 
der, 
Which, as they kiss, consume. 
k. Borneo and Juliet. Act H. Sc. 6. 

Why, all delights are vain; and that most 

vain, 
Which, with pain purchas'd, doth inherit 

pain. 
I. Love's Labour's Lost. Act I. Sc. 1. 

Man delights not me, no, nor woman 
neither, though, by your smiling, you seem 
to say so. 

m. Hamlet. Act II Sc. 2. 



Their tables were stor'd full, to glad the 

sight, 
And not so much to feed on, as delight; 
All poverty was scorn'd, and pride so great, 
The name of help grew odious to repeat. 
n. Pericles. Act I. Sc. 4. 

A voice of greeting from the wind was sent; 
The mists enfolded me with soft white 
arms; 
The birds did sing to lap me in content, 

The rivers wove their charms, — 
And every little daisy in the grass 
Did look up in my face, and smile to see me 
pass ! 
o. Stoddard — Hymn to the Beautiful. 

St. 4. 

DESIRE. 

"Man wants but little here below 

Nor wants that little long, " 
'Tis not with me exactly so; 

But 'tis so in the song. 
My wants are many, and, if told, 

Would muster many a score; 
And were each wish a mint of gold, 
I still should long for more. 
p. John Qutncs: Adams — The Wants of 

Man. 
Every wish 
Is like a prayer — with God. 

q. E. B. Browning — Aurora Leigh.

Desire, that with perpetual current flows ; 
The fluctuating pangs, of Hope and Fear, 
Joy distant still, and Sorrow ever near.

Oh! could I throw aside these earthly bands 
That tie me down where wretched mortals

Thy wish was father, Harry, to that thought:

v. Henry IV. Pt. II. Act IT. Sc. 4. 

Where nothing wants, that want itself doth 
seek. 
w . Love's Labour's Lost. Act TV. Sc 3. 

Lacking my love, I go from place to place, 
Like a young fawn that late hath lost the 

hind, 
And seek each where where last I saw her 

face, 
Whose image yet I carry fresh in mind.

From every low pursuit! and feed my soul 
With knowledge, conscious peace, and virtue

Sacred, substantial, never-fading bliss!

DESOLATION. 

On rolls the stream with a perpetual sigh; 
The rocks moan wildly as it passes by; 
Hyssop and wormwood, border all the strand, 
And not a flower adorns the dreary land. 
/. Bryant— Trans. The Paradise of 

Tears. 

None are so desolate but something dear, 
Dearer than self, possesses or possess'd 
A thought, and claims the homage of a tear. 
g. Byron— Childe Harold. Canto n. 

St. 24. 

What is the worst of woes that wait on age? 
What stamps the wrinkle deeper on the 

brow? 
To view each loved one blotted from life's 

page, 
And be alone on earth, as I am now. 
h. Btbon — Childe Harold. Canto II. 

St. 98. 

No soul is desolate as long as there is a 
human being for whom it can feel trust and

No one is so accursed by fate, 
No one so utterly desolate,

There is no creature loves me; 
And if I die no soul shall pity me.

Gone, and a cloud in my heart. 
m. Tennyson — The Window. Gone. 

DESPAIR.

And tender friends go sighing round, 

" What love can ever cure this wound?" 
My days go on, my days go on. 

n. E. B. Browning— Be Profundis. 

St. 5. 
A happier lot were mine, 
If I must lose thee, to go down to earth,

Nothing but sorrow. Father have I none, 
And no dear mother.

Unattainable treasure, Adieu! 

q. Cowper — Song on Peace. 

All hope abandon, ye who enter here.

Thus with the year 
Seasons return; but not to me returns 
Day, or the sweet approach of even or morn 
Or sight of vernal bloom, or summer's rose, 
Or flocks, or herds, or human face divine; 
But cloud instead and ever-during dark 
Surrounds me, from the cheerful ways of 

men 
Cut off, and for the book of knowledge fair, 
Presented with a universal blank 
Of Nature's works, to me expunged and rased, 
And wisdom at one entrance quite shut out.

Work and Days. 

Take life too seriously, and what is it 
worth ? If the morning wake us to no new 
joys, if the evening bring us not the hope of 
new pleasures, is it worth while to dress and 
undress? Does the sun shine on me to-day that 
I may reflect on yesterday? That I may en-

neither be foreseen nor controlled — the des- 
tiny of to-morrow?

I call'd the devil, and he came, 

And with wonder his form did I closely

He is not ugly, and is not lame, 

But really a handsome and charming man. 
A man in the prime of life is the devil, 
Obliging, a man of the world, and civil; 
A diplomatist too, well skill'd in debate. 
He talks right glibly of church and state.

time 
The living throne, the sapphire blaze, 
Where angels tremble while they gaze 
He saw; but blasted with excess of light, 
Closed his eyes in endless night, 
z. Gray— The Progress of Poesy. HI. 2. 

Howe'er we trust to mortal things, 
Each hath its pair of folded wings ; 
Though long their terrors rest unspread, 
Their fatal plumes are never shed; 
At last, at last, they stretch in flight, 
And blot the day and blast the night!

DISAPPOINTMENT. 



DISEASE 



Oh! ever thus, from childhood's hour, 

I've seen my fondest hopes decay; 
I never loved a tree or flower, 

But 'twas the first to fade away. 
I never nursed a dear gazelle, 

To glad me with its soft black eye, 
But when it came to know me well, 

And love me, it was sure to die. 

a Mooke— Lalla Rookh. The Fire 

Worshippers. Line 278. 

A friend should bear his friend's infirmities, 
But Brutus makes mine greater than they are. 

b. Julius Ccesar. Act IV. Sc. 3. 

All is but toys; renown, and grace, is dead; 
The wine of life is drawn, and the mere lees 
Is left this vault to brag of. 

c. Macbeth. Act II. Sc. 3. 

But earthly happier is the rose distill' d, 
Than that, which, with'ring on the virgin 

thorn, 
Grows, lives, and dies, in single blessedness. 

d. Midsummer Nights Bream. Act I. 

Sc. 1. 

Full little knowest thou that hast not tride, 

What hell it is in suing long to bide; 

To loose good dayes that might be better 

spent, 
To waste long nights in pensive discontent; 
To speed to-day, to be put back to-morrow; 
To feed on hope, to pine with feare and sor- 



To fret thy soule with crosses and with cares; 
To eate thy heart through comfortlesse dis- 

paires ; 
To fawne, to crowche, to waite, to ride, to 

ronne, 
To spend, to give, to want, to be undonne. 
e. Spenser — Mother Hubberd's Tales. 

Line 895. 

DISCONTENT. 

Fret not, my friend, and peevish say, 
Your loss is worse than common, 

For "gold makes wings, and flies away," 

And time will wait for no man. 
/. Ek seine — To one who was Grieving 

for the Loss of his Watch. 

To sigh, yet feel no pain, 
To weep, yet scarce know why; 
To sport an hour with Beauty's chain, 
Then throw it idly by. 
g. Mooee — The'Blue Stocking. 

O how wretched 
Is that poor man that hangs on princes' 

favors! 
There is, betwixt that smile we would aspire 

to, 
That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin. 
More pangs and fears than wars or woman 

have; 
And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, 
Never to hope again.

DISCRETION. 

Discretion, the best part of valour. 
I. Beaumont and Fletcher — A King 

and no King. Act IV. Sc. 3. 

A sound discretion is not so much indi- 
cated by never making a mistake, as by never 
repeating it. 

m. Bovee — (Summaries of Thought. 

Discretion. 

Covering discretion with a coat of folly. 
n. Henry V. Act LL Sc. 4. 

For 'tis not good that children should 
know any wickedness: old folks, you know, 
have discretion, as they say, and know the 
world. 

o. Merry Wives of Windsor. Act EL 

Sc. 2. 

I have seen the day of wrong through the 
little hole of discretion.

The better part of valor is discretion; in. 
the which better part I have saved my life.

Withers the beauty's transient flower.

Line 75. 
Just disease to luxury succeeds, 
And ev'ry death its own avenger breeds. 
«. Pope — Essay on Man. Ep. III.

I'll forbear; 

And am fallen out with my more headier

To take the indispos'd and sickly fit

Therefore, the moon, the governess of floods, 
Pale in her anger, washes all the air, 
That rheumatic diseases do abound. 

a. Midsummer Night's Dream. Act II. 

Sc. 2. 

This apoplexy is, as I take it, a kind of 
lethargy, an't please your lordship; a kind 
of sleeping in the blood, a whoreson tingling. 

6. Henry IV. Pt. II. Act I. Sc. 2. 

This sickness doth infect 
The very life-blood of our enterprise. 

c. Henry IV. Pt. I. Act IV. Sc. 1. 

So when a raging fever burns, 

We shift from side to side by turns, 

And 'tis a poor relief we gain 

To change the place, but keep the pain. 

d. Watts — Hymns and Spiritual Songs. 

Bk. II. Hymn 146. 

DISGRACE. 

The unbought grace of life, the cheap de- 
fence of nations, the nurse of manly senti- 
ment and heroic enterprise, is gone. 

e. Bubke — Beflection on the Revolution 

in France. 

Come, Death, and snatch me from disgrace.

And wilt thou still be hammering treachery, 
To tumble down thy husband and thyself, 
Prom top of honour to disgrace's feet ?

An old affront will stir the heart 
Through years of rankling pain. 
j. Jean Ingelow — Poems. Strife and

Bitter waxed the fray; 
Brother with brother spake no word 
When they met in the way. 
fc . Jean Ingelow — Poems. Strife and 

Peace. 

Alas! how light a cause may move 
Dissension between hearts that love! 
Hearts that the world in vain had tried, 
And sorrow but more closely tied; 
That stood the storm when waves were 

rough, 
Yet in a sunny hour fall off. 
1. Mooke — Lalla Rookh. The Light of 

the Harem. 



Believe me, lords, my tender years can tell, 
Civil dissension is a viperous worm, 
That gnaws the bowels of the common- 
wealth, 
m. Henry VI. Pt. 1. Act. IH. Sc. 1. 

If they perceive dissension in our looks, 
And that within ourselves we disagree, 
How will their grudging stomachs be pro- 
voked 
To wilful disobedience and rebel? 
n. Henry VI. Pt. I. Act. IV. Sc. 1. 

Now join your hands, and with your hands 

your hearts, 
That no dissension hinder government. 
o. Henry VI. Pt. HI. Act IV. Sc. 6. 

DISTRUST. 

Self-distrust is the cause of most of our 
failures. In the assurance of strength there 
is strength, and they are the weakest, how- 
ever strong, who have no faith in themselves 
or their powers. 

p. Bovee — Summaries of Thought. 

Self-Reliance. 

What loneliness is more lonely than dis- 
trust? 

q. Geoege Eliot — Middlemarch. Bk. V. 

Ch. XLIV. 

A certain amount of distrust is wholesome, 
but not so much of others as of ourselves; 
neither vanity nor conceit can exist in the 
same atmosphere with it. 

r. Madame Neckee. 

Three things a wise man will not trust, 
The wind, the sunshine of an April day, 
And woman's plighted faith.

DOCTRINE. 

Por his religion, it was fit

'Twas Pr sbyterian true blue; 
For he was of that stubborn crew 
Of errant saints, whom all men grant

Infallible artillery; 
And prove their doctrine orthodox, 
By apostolic blows and knocks.

They have aweightuponour waking thou ghts, 
They take a weight from off our waking

They do divide our being.

I had a dream which was not all a dream. 
p. Byeon — Darkness. 

The fisher droppeth his net in the stream, 
And a hundred streams are the same at

And always the dreaming the dreamer wakes.

EATING. 

When the Sultan Shah-Zaman 

Goes to the city Ispahan, 

Even before he gets so far 

As the place where the clustered palm trees 

are, 
At the last of the thirty palace gates, 
The pet of the Harem, Rose in Bloom, 
Orders a feast in his favorite room, — 
Glittering square of colored ice, 
Sweetened with syrups, tinctured with 

spice; 
Creams, and cordials, and 6ugared dates; 
Syrian apples, Othmanee Quinces, 
Limes and citrons and apricots. 
And wines that are known to Eastern princes. 

e . Thomas Bailey Aldrich — When the 
Sultan Goes to Ispahan.

Oh, better no doubt is a dinner of herbs, 
When season'd by love, which no rancor dis- 
turbs, 
And sweeten'd by all that is sweetest in life 
Than turbot, bisque, ortolans, eaten in strife! 
But if out of humour, and hungry, alone 
A man should sit down to dinner, each one 
Of the dishes of which the cook chooses to 

spoil 
With a horrible mixture of garlic and oil, 
The chances are ten against one, I must own, 
He gets up as ill-tempered as when he sat 
down.

We may live without poetry, music and art; 

We may live without conscience, and live 
without heart; 

We may live without friends; we may live 
without books; 

But civilized man cannot live without cooks. 

He may live without books, — what is knowl- 
edge but grieving? 

He may live without hope, — what is hope but

dining ?

Never sleeping, still awake, 
Pleasing most when most I speak;

Many voices joining round me; 
Then I fret, and rave, and gabble, 
Like the labourers of Babel. 

a. Swift — An Echo. 

i 

A million horrible bellowing echoes broke 
From the red-ribb'd hollow behind the wood,

And buffet round the hills from bluff to bluff.

which the God who made us has endowed 
us. 

r. Mrs. Jameson — Education. Winter 

Studies and Summer Rambles. 

It is the ruin of all the young talent of the 
day, that reading and writing are simulta- 
neous. We do not educate ourselves for 
literary enterprize. * * * We all sacrifice 
the palm-tree to obtain the temporary draught 
of wine! We slay the camel that would bear 
us through the desert, because we will not 
endure a momentary thirst.

And rash enthusiasm in good society 
Were nothing but a moral inebriety. 
h. Bybon— Bon Juan. Canto XIII. 

St. 35. 

Enthusiasm is that secret and harmonious 
spirit which hovers over the production of 
genius, throwing the reader of a book, or the 
spectator of a statue, into the very ideal 
presence whence these works have really 
originated . A great work always leaves us in 
a state of musing.

And gentle winds, and waters near, 

Make music to the lonely ear. 

Each flower the dews have lightly wet, 

And in the sky the stars are met, 

And on the wave is deeper blue, 

And on the leaf a browner hue, 

And in the heaven that clear obscure, 

So softly dark and darkly pure, 

Which follows the decline of day, 

As twilight melts beneath the moon away. j

Let fall the curtain, wheel the sofa round, 
And, while the bubbling and loud hissing 

urn 
Throws up a steamy column, and the cups, 
That cheer but not inebriate, wait on each, 
So let us welcome peaceful evening in. 

1. Cower— The Task. Bk. IV. 

Line 36. 

When day is done, and clouds are low, 

And flowers are honey-dew, 
And Hesper's lamp begins to glow 

Along the western blue; 
And homeward wing the turtle-doves, 
Then comes the hour the poet loves. 

u. George Croly — The Poet's How. 

The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, 
The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea, 
The ploughman homeward plods his weary 

way, 
And leaves the world to darkness and to me. 
v. Gray — Elegy in a Country Churchyard. 

When the moon begins her radiant race, 
Then the stars swim after her track so bright. 
w. Heine — Book of Songs. Quite True. 

Eve's silent foot-fall steals 

Along the eastern sky, 
And one by one to earth reveals 

Those purer fires on high.

EVENING. 



EXPECTATION. 



. Day, like a weary pilgrim, had reached 
the western gate of heaven, and Evening 
stooped down to "unloose the latchets of his 
sandal shoon. 

a. Longfellow — Saint Gilgen. Ch. IV. 

O precious evenings! all too swiftly sped! 

b. Longfellow — Sonnet. On Mrs. Kem- 

ble's Headings from Shakespeare. 

The day is ending, 

The night is descending; 

The marsh is frozen, 

The river is dead. 

c. Longfellow — An Afternoon in 

February. 

At shut of evening flowers. 

d. Milton — Paradise Lost. Bk . IX. 

Line 278. 

Fly not yet, 'tis just the hour 
When pleasure, like the midnight flower 
That scorns the eye of vulgar light, 
Begins to bloom for sons of night, 

And maids who love the moon. 

e. Moose — Fly Not Yet. 

O how grandly cometh Even, 
Sitting on the mountain summit, 
Purple-vestured, grave, and silent, 
Watching o'er the dewy valleys, 

Like a good king near his end . 
/. D. M. Mtjlock — A Stream's Singing. 

One by one the flowers close, 
Lily and dewy rose 

Shutting their tender petals from the moon. 
g. Christina G. Kosetti — Twilight Calm. 

The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks: 
The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: 

the deep 
Moans round with many voices.

EVIL. 

Evil events from evil causes spring. 
i. Aeistophanes. 

It is some compensation for great evils 
that they enforce great lessons. 
j. Bovee — Summaries of Thought. 

, Compensation. 

The more common method of getting rid 
of an evil is, to merge it in a greater. Thus, 
if one suffers a loss of half his fortune at 
play, he overcomes his mortification by — 
losing the other half. The most ingenious 
expedient of this kind, was that of the indi- 
gent gentleman of rank, who married his 
washerwoman to get rid of her bill against 
him. 

k. Bovee — Summaries of Thought. Evils. 

None are all evil. 

1. Bybon— The Corsair. Canto I. St. 12. 

He who does evil that good may come, 
pays a toll to the devil to let him into heaven. 
m. J. C. and A. W. Habe. Guesses at 

Truth. 



Evil is wrought by want of Thought 
As well as want of Heart! 

n. Hood— The Lady's Dream. St. 16. 

Of two evils the less is always to be chosen, 
o. Thomas a Kempis — Imitation of Christ. 
Bk. HI. Ch. XII. 

And out of good still to find means of evil. 
p. Milton — Paradise Lost. Bk. I. 

Line 165. 

Duly advis'd, the coming evil shun: 
Better not do the deed, than weep it done. 
q. Pbiob — Henry and Emma. 

But then I sigh, and, with a piece of Scrip- 
ture, 
Tell them, that God bids us do good for evil. 
r. Richard 111. Act I. Sc. 3. 

The evil that men do lives after them; 
The good is oft interred with their bones. 
s. Julius Caesar. Act IH. Sc. 2. 

The world is grown so bad 
That wrens make prey where eagles dare not 
perch.

Allured to brighter worlds, and led the way. 
u. Goldsmith — Deserted Village. 

Line 170. 

Since truth and constancy are vain, 
Since neither love, nor sense of pain, 
Nor force of reason, can persuade, 
Then let example be obey'd. 
v. Geo. Gbanvtlle (Lord Lansdowne) — 

To Myra. 

Csesar had his Brutus — Charles the First, 
his Cromwell — and George the Third — 
("Treason!" cried the speaker) — may profit 
by their example. If this be treason, make

w. Patbick Henry. — Speech, 1765. 

I do not give you to posterity as a pattern

Oft expectation fails, and most oft there 
Where most it promises; and oft it hits 
Where hope is coldest, and despair most fits. 

a. All's Well That Ends Well. Act H. 

Sc. 1. 

Promising is the very air o' the time; 
It opens the eyes of expectation: 
Performance is ever the duller for his act; 
And, but in the plainer and simpler kind of 

people, 
The deed of saying is quite out of use. 

b. Timon of Athens. Act. V. Sc. 1. 

There have sat 
The livelong day, with patient expectation, 
To see great Pompey pass the streets of Rome. 

c. Julius Ccesar. Act I. Sc. 1. 

When clouds are seen, wise men put on their 

cloaks ; 
When great leaves fall, then winter is at hand; 
When the sun sets, who doth not look for 

night ? 
Untimely storms make men expect a dearth. 
J. Richard III. Act n. Sc. 3. 

EXPERIENCE. 

Behold, we live through all things, — famine, 
thirst, 
Bereavement, pain; all grief and misery, 
All woe and sorrow, life inflicts its worst 
On soul and body, — but we cannot die 
Though we be sick, and tired, and faint,

Lo, all things can be borne!

i. Crabbe — Parish Register. Pt. III. 

To show the world what long experience 

gains, 
Requires not courage, though it calls for 

pains ; 
But at life's outset to inform mankind, 
Is a bold effort of a valiant mind.

of mistakes.

Nor deem the irrevocable Past, 

As wholly wasted, wholly vain, 
If, rising on its wrecks, at last 
To something nobler we attain. 
q. Longfellow — The Ladder of St. 

Augustine. 

This life of ours is a wild aeolian harp of 

many a joyous strain, 
But under them all there runs a loud per- 
petual wail as of souls in pain.

Legend. Pt. IV.

are in vain.

Canto III. St. 16.

In ignorance; thou open'st wisdom's way, 
And giv'st access, though secret she retire. 

1. Milton— Paradise Lost. Bk. IX.

u. John Boyle O'Reilly — Rules of the

Who heeds not experience, trust him not. 
v. John Boyle O'Reilly — Rules of the 

Road. 

Men 
Can counsel, and speak comfort to that grief

Why then we rack the value; then we find 
The virtue, that possession would not show us 
While it was ours. 

c. Much Ado About Nothing. Act IV. 

Sc. 1. 

I know 
The past, and thence I will assay to glean 
A warning for the future, so that man 
May profit by his errors, and derive Expe- 
rience from his folly; 
For, when the power of imparting joy 
Is equal to the will, the human soul 
Requires no other heaven. 

d. Shelley — Queen Mab. Canto III. 

Line 6. 

Life may change but it may fly not; 
Hope may vanish but can die not; 
Truth be veiled, but still it burneth ; 
Love repulsed, — but it returneth. . 

e. Shelley — Hellas. Semi-chorus. 

Conflicts bring experience, and experience 
brings that growth in grace which is not to 
be attained by any other means. 

/. Sfurgeon — Gleanings Among The 

Sheaves. Divine Teaching. 

To Truth's house there is a single door, 
Which is Experience. He teaches best, 
Who feels the hearts of all men in his breast, 
And knows their strength or weakness 
through his own.

Love had he found in huts where poor men

Eyes are bold as lions, roving, running, 
leaping, here and there, far and near. 
They speak all languages. They wait for no 
introduction; they are no Englishmen; ask 
no leave of age or rank; they respect neither 
poverty nor riches, neither learning nor 
power, nor virtue, nor sex, but intrude, and 
come again, and go through and through you 
in a moment of time. What inundation of 
life and thought is discharged from one soul 
into another through them!

Canto IH. St. 4. 

Doubtless the human face is the grandest 
of all mysteries; yet fixed on canvas, it can 
hardly tell of more than one sensation: no 
struggle, no successive contrasts accessible to 
dramatic art, can painting give, as neither 
time nor motion exists for her.

Her cheeks so rare a white -was on, 
No daisy makes comparison;

For streaks of red were mingled there, 
Such as are on a Cath'rine pear, 

The side that's next the sun.

Her lips were red, and one was thin, 
Compared with that was next her chin,

FATTH. 

Faith is a higher faculty than reason, 
o. Batt.kt — Festus. Prosn. Line 84.

Cheer up, hold out with thee it shall go well. 
q. Buxxan — Pilgrim's Progress. Pt. I. 

We shall be made truly wise if we be made

victory ? 

I triumph still, if Thou abide with me!

To some dear falsehood, hugs it to the last.

If faith produce no works, I see, 
That faith is not a living tree.

Through this dark and stormy night 
Faith beholds a feeble light 

Up the blackness streaking; 
Knowing God's own time is best, 
In a patient hope I rest 

For the full day-breaking!

For this men write, speak, preach, and heroes 
kill,

A name, a wretched picture, and worse 

bust.

Fame has no necessary conjunction with 
praise: it may exist without the breath of a

must be felt, but need not be spoken. Even 
the envious must feel it: feel it, and hate it in 
silence. 

b. Mes. Jameson — Memoirs and Essays.

Reputation being essentially contempora- 
neous, is always at the mercy of the Envious 
and the Ignorant. But Fame, whose very 
birth is posthumous, and which is only 
known to exist by the echo of its footsteps 
through congenial minds, can neither be in- 
creased nor diminished by any degree of 
wilfulness.

FATE. 



FATE. 



No one is so accursed by fate, 
No one so utterly desolate, 

But some heart, though unknown, 

Responds unto his own. 

a. Longfellow — Endymion. St. 8. 

Ships that pass in the night, and speak each 

other in passing, 
Only a signal shown and a distant voice in 

the darkness: 
So on the ocean of life we pass and speak 

one another, 
Only a look and a voice, then darkness again 

and a silence. 

b. Longfellow — Elizabeth. Pt. IV. 

Then in Life's goblet freely press, 
The leaves that give it bitterness, 
Nor prize the colored waters less, 
For in thy darkness and distress 
New light and strength they give! 

c. Longfellow— The Goblet of Life. 

There are certain events which to each 
man's life are as comets to the earth, seem- 
ingly strange and erratic portents; distinct 
from the ordinary lights which guide our 
course and mark our seasons, yet true to 
their own laws, potent in their own influ ences. 

d. Bulwer-Lytton — What Will He Do 

With It ? Bk. II. Ch. XIV. 

Alas! how easily things go wrong! 

A sigh too- deep, or a kiss too long, 

And then comes a mist and a weeping rain, 

And life is never the same again.

i. Owen Meredith — Thomas Muntzer to

We are what we must

And there take root.

And take a bond of fate : thou shalt not live. 
v. Macbeth. Act rV. Sc. 1. 

Farewell, a long farewell, to all my greatness! 
This is the state of man; To-day he puts forth 
The tender leaves of hope; to-morrow 

blossoms, 
And bears his blushing honours thick upon 

him: 
The third day comes a frost, a killing frost; 
And, when he thinks, good easy man, full 

surely 
His greatness is a ripening, — nips his root, 
And then he falls, as I do .

Men still had faults, and men will have 

them still, 
He that hath none, and lives as angels do, 
Must be an angel. 

a. Wentworth Dillon (Earl of 

Roscommon) — Miscellanies. On 
Mr. Dryden's Eeligio Laid. Line 8. 

Do you wish to find out a person's weak 
points V Note the failings he has the quick- 
est eye for in others. They may not be the 
very failings ne is himself conscious of; but 
they will be their next-door neighbors. No 
man keeps such a jealous look out as a rival. 

b. J. C. and A. W. Hare— Guesses at 

Trail,. 

Bad men excuse their faults, good men 
will leave them. 

c. Ben Jonson — Catiline. Act III. 

Sc. 2. 

Condemn the fault, and not the actor of it! 
Why every fault's condemn'd, ere it be done: 
Mine were the very cipher of a function, 
To fine the faults, whose fine stands in 

record, 
And let go by the actor. 

d. Measure for Measure. Act IH. Sc. 2. 

Every one fault seeming monstrous, till

Go to your bosom; 
Knock there; and ask your heart what it

That's like my brother's fault. 
h. Measure for Measure. Act H. Sc. 2. 

Her only fault (and that is fault enough) 

Is, — that she is intolerable curst, 

And shrewd, and froward: so beyond all 

measure, 
That, were my state far worser than it is, 
I would not wed her for a mine of gold. 
i. Taming of the Shrew. Act I. Sc. 2. 

Patches set upon a little breath, 
Discredit more in hiding for the fault,

Fear is an ague, that forsakes 
And haunts, by fits, those whom it takes; 
And they opine they feel the pain 
And blows they felt to-day, again.

There is but one thing of which I am

In glittering dust and painted fragments 

lie.

I could a tale unfold, whose lightest word 
Would harrow up thy soul; freeze thy young

Thy knotted and combined locks to part, 
And each particular hair to stand on end, 
Like quills upon the fretful porcupine.

Drops some careless word, it overflows, and

Spilt on the ground like water, can never be

Was chymist, fiddler, statesman and buf-

FISH. 



Sc. 1. 



A rod twelve feet long and a ring of wire, 
A winder and barrel, will help thy desire 
In killing a Pike; but the forked stick, 
With a slit and a bladder, — and that other 

fine trick, 
Which our artists call snap, with a goose or a 

duck, — 
Will kill two for one, if you have any luck ; 
The gentry of Shropshire do merrily smile, 
To see a goose and a belt the fish to beguile; 
When a Pike suns himself, and a-frogging 

doth go, 
The two-inched hook is better, I know, 
Than the ord'nary snaring. But still I must 

cry, 
"When the Pike is at home, mind the cook- 
ery."

As when the salmon seeks a fresher stream to 

find, 
Which hither from the sea comes yearly by 

his kind, 
As he tow'rds season grows ; and stems the 

wat'ry tract 
Where Tivy, falling down, makes an high 

cataract, 
Forced by the rising rocks that there her 

course oppose, 
As though within her bounds they meant her 

to inclose; — 
Here, when the labouring fish does at the foot 

arrive, 
And finds that by his strength he does but 

vainly strive; 
His tail takes in his mouth, and bending like 

a bow 
That's to full compass drawn, aloft himself 

doth throw — 
Then springing at his height, as doth a little 

wand 
That, bended end to end, and started from 

man's hand, 
Far off itself doth cast, so does the salmon 

vault; 
And if at first he fail, his second summer- 
sault 
He instantly essays, and from his nimble 

ring 
Still jerking, never leaves until himself he 

fling 
Above the opposing stream. 
m. Drayton — Polyolbion. 

If or chance or hunger's powerful sway 
Directs the roving trout this fatal way, 
He greedily sucks in the twining bait, 
And toys and nibbles the fallacious meat.

Dreary-mouth'd, gaping wretches of the sea, 
Gulping salt-water everlastingly, 
Cold-blooded, though with red your blood be 

graced 
And mute, though dwellers in the roaring 

waste ; 
And you, all shapes beside, that fishy be, — 
Some round, some flat, some long, all devilry, 
Legless, unloving, infamously chaste: — 
O scaly, slippery, wet, swift, staring wights, 
What is't ye do? what life lead? eh, auli

How do ye vary your vile days and nights ? 
How pass your Sundays? Are ye still but

In ceaseless wash? Still nought but gapes

And drinks, and stares, diversified with 

boggles,

Cut off my tail, and plural I appear; 
Although my middle's left, there's nothing

What is my tail cut off? A rushing river; 
And in their mingling depths I fearless play, 
Parent of sweetest sounds, yet mute forever.

And larkspurs many-hued, shall drive 
Gloom from the groves, where red leaves lie, 
And Nature seems but half alive. 
i. Mont — The Birth of the Flowers. 

Crocus-cups of gold and blue, 
Snowdrops drooping early. 
i. Montgomery — The Valentine Wreath. 



In rustic solitude 'tis sweet 

The earliest flowers of Spring to greet, — 

The violet from its tomb, 
The strawberry, creeping at our feet, 

The sorrel's simple bloom. 

k. Montgomery — A Walk in Spring. 

The pale primroses look'd their best, 
Peonies blush'd with all their might, 

I. Montgomery — 1 he Adventure of a Star. 

The purple heath and golden broom 
On moory mountains catch the gale, 

O'er lawns the lily sheds perfume, 
The violet in the vale,

How the rose, of orient glow, 
Mingles with the lily's snow. 

n. Moore — Odes of Anacreon. Ode LI. 

The wreath's of brightest myrtle wove, 
With sun-lit drops of bliss among it, 
And many a rose leaf cull'd by Love, 
To heal his lips when bees have stung it. 
o. Moore— The Wreath and the Chain. 

Yet, no — not words for they 

But half can tell love's feeling; 
Sweet flowers alone can say 

What passion fears revealing. 
A once bright rose's wither'd leaf, 

A tow'ring lily broken, — 
Oh these may paint a grief 

No words could e'er have spoken. 

p. Moore — The Language of Flowers. 

Beautiful watchers! day and night ye wake! 
The evening star grows dim and fades away, 
And morning comes and goes, and then the 

day 
Within the arms of night its rest doth take; 
But ye are watchful wheresoe'er we stray: 
I love ye all! 
q. Robert Nicolls — Wild Flowers. 

He bore a simple wild-flower wreath : 
Narcissus, and the sweet-briar rose ; 
Vervain, and flexile thyme, that breathe 
Rich fragrance; modest heath, that glows 
With purple bells; the amaranth bright, 
That no decay nor fading knows, 
Like true love's holiest, rarest light; 
And every purest flower, that blows 
In that sweet time, which Love most blesses, 
When spring on summer's confines presses. 
r. Thomas Love Peacock — Rhododaphne. 

In Eastern lands they talk in flowers, 

And they tell in a garland their loves and 

cares ; 
Each blossom that blooms in their garden 

bowers, 
On its leaves a mystic language bears. 
s. Pebcival — The Language of Flowers. 

Let op'ning roses knotted oaks adorn, 
And liquid amber drop from ev'ry thorn.

d. Mrs. Sawyer — The Mind Girl. 

In the low vale the snow-white daisy 
springeth, 
The golden dandelion by its side; 
The eglantine a dewy fragrance fiingeth 
To the soft breeze that wanders far and 
wide. 

e. Mrs. Scott — My Child. 

Here eglantine embalni'd the air, 
Hawthorne and hazel mingle there; 
The primrose pale and violet flower, 
Found in each cliff a narrow bower; 
Fox-glove and night shade, side by side, 
Emblems of punishment and pride, 
Group'd their dark hues with every stain. 
The weather beaten crags retain. 
/. Scott— T/ie Lady of the Lake. 

Canto I. St. 12. 

The rose is fairest when 'tis budding new, 
And hope is brightest when it dawns from 

fears. 
The rose is sweetest wash'd with morning 

clew, 
And love is loveliest when embalm'd in tears. 
a. Scott — The Lady of the Lake. 

' Canto II. St. 1. 

The violet in her greenwood bower, 

Where birchen boughs with hazels mingle, 

May boast itself the fairest flower 
In glen or copse, or forest dingle. 
h. Scott— The Violet. 

Daffodils, 
That come before the swallow dares, and take 
The winds of March with beauty; violets dim, 
But sweeter than the lids of Juno's eyes, 
Or Cytherea's breath; pale primroses, 
That die unmarried ere they can behold 
Bright Phoebus in his strength, a malady 
Most incident to maids; bold oxlips and 
The crown-imperial ; lilies of all kinds, 
The flower-de-luce being one!

The fairest flowers o' th' season 
Are our carnations, and streak'd gillyflowers. 
p. Winter's Tale. Act rV Sc. 3. 

The summer's flower is to the summer sweet, 
Though to itself it only live and die ; 
But if that flower with base infection meet, 
The basest weed outbraves his dignity; 

For sweetest things turn sourest by their

Lilies that fester smell far worse than 
weeds .

And narcissi, the fairest among them all, 
Who gaze on their eyes in the stream's recess, 
Till they die of their own dear loveliness.

There grew pied wind-flowers and violets, 
Dasies, those pearled Arcturi of the earth. 

The constellated flower that never sets. 
u. Shelley — The Question. 

The snow-drops and then the violet, 

Arose from the ground with warm rain wet, 

And their breath was mixed with fresh odour, 

sent 
From the turf, like the voice and the instru-

Day stars! that ope your eyes with morn to

From rainbow galaxies of earth's creation. 
And dew-drops on her lonely altars sprinkle

Sweet is the rose, but grows upon a brere; 
Sweet is the jumper, but sharp his bough; 
Sweet is the eglantine, but sticketh near; 
Sweet is the firbloom,but its branches rough; 
Sweet is the cypress, but its rind is tough ;

And if the breath of some to no caress 
Invited, forth they peeped so fair to view, 
All kinds alike seemed favourites of Heaven.

Amaranths he looks unto. 
Folded eyes see brighter colors than the open

Immortal amaranth, a flower which once 
In Paradise, fast by the tree of life,

Hail the flower whose early bridal makes the 

festival of Spring! 
Deeper far than outward meaning lies the 
comfort she doth bring; 
From the heights of happy winning, 
Gaze we back on hope's beginning 
Feel the vital strength and beauty hidden 
from our eyes before; 
And we know, with hearts grown stronger, 
Tho' our waiting seemeth longer, 
Yet with Love's divine assurance, we should

Aster. 

The Autumn wood the aster knows, 
The empty nest, the wind that grieves. 

The sunlight breaking thro' the shade, 

The squirrel chattering overhead, 

The timid rabbits lighter tread 
Among the rustling leaves. 

And still beside the shadowy glen 
She holds the color of the skies; 
Along the purpling wayside steep 
She hangs her fringes passing deep, 
And meadows drowned in happy state 
Are lit by starry eyes!

The silver birch its buds of purple shows, 

And scarlet-berries tell where bloomed the 
sweet wild-rose!

How soft thy voice, when woods are still.

As the golden Summer dies, 
So her silky green has fled, 
And the smoky clusters rise 
As from fires of sacrifice, — 
Sacred incense to the dead!

Crimson clover I discover 

By the garden gate, 
And the bees about her hover, 
But the robins wait. 
Sing, robins, sing, 

Sing a roundelay, — 
'Tis the latest flower of Spring 
Coming with the May! 

Crimson clover I discover 

In the open field, 
Mellow sunlight brooding over, 
All her warmth revealed. 
Sing, robins, sing, 

'Tis no longer May, — 
Fuller bloom doth Summer bring, 
Ripened thro' delay! 

a. Dora Read Goodale — Bed Clover. 

The fields have lost their lingering light, 
The path is dusky thro' the night, — 
The clover is too sweet to lose 
Her fragrance with the gathering dews, — 

The skies are warm above her: 
The cricket pipes his song again, 
The cows are waiting in the lane, 
The shadows fall adown the hill, 
And silent is the whippoorwill; 
But thro' the summer twilight still 

You smell the milk-white clover. 

b. Dora Read Goodale — White Clover. 

Summer came, the green earth's lover, 
Ripening the tufted clover.

Skirting the rocks at the forest edge 
With a running flame from ledge to ledge, 
Or swaying deeper in shadowy glooms, 
A smoldering fire in her dusky blooms; 
Bronzed and molded by wind and sun, 
Maddening, gladdening every one 
With a gypsy beauty full and fine, — 
A health to the crimson columbine! 
g. Elaine Goodale — Columbine. 

Columbine! open your folded wrapper,

COLUMBINE, GOLDEN. 

Aquilegia Chrysaniha. 

Sweet flower of the golden horn, 

Thy beauty passeth praise!

His shelter o'er thee throw, 
And spring-time winds, which elsewhere 
roar, 

Breathe gently as they go.

God has planted 
Here in the houseless wild, to direct the

The lark's descending breast.

The Daisy never dies!

Fringing the dusty road with harmless gold ; 
First pledge of blithesome May, 

Which children pluck, and, full of pride, 
uphold, 
High-hearted buccaneers, o'erjoyed that they 
An Eldorado in the grass have found, 
Which not the rich earth's ample round 
May match in wealth, — thou art more dear to 

me 
Than all the prouder summer-blooms may be. 
n. Lowell — To the Dandelion. 



How like a prodigal doth nature seem, 

When thou, for all thy gold, so common art! 
Thou teachest me to deem 

More sacredly of every human heart, 
Since each reflects in joy its scanty gleam 

Of heaven, and could some wondrous secret 
show, 

Did we but pay the love we owe, 
And with a child's undoubting wisdom look 
On all these living pages of God's book.

Watch upon a bank 
With ivy canopied and interwove 
With flaunting honeysuckle. 
k. Milton — Oomus. Line 543. 

I plucked a honeysuckle where 

The hedge on high is quick with thorn, 
And climbing for the prize, was torn, 

And fouled my feet in quag-water: 
And by the thorns and by the win 1 
The blossom that I took was thinnd, 

And yet I found it sweet and fair. 

Thence to a richer growth I came, 

Where, nursed in mellow intercourse, 
The honeysuckles sprang by scores, 

Not harried like my single stem, 
All virgin lamps of scent and dew 
So froBa my hand that first I threw, 

Yet plucked not-any more of them. 

1. Dante Eossetti — The Honeysuckle. 

Honeysuckle loved to crawl 
Up the low crag and ruin'd wall.

Introduction 

Bid her steal into the pleached bower, 
Where honeysuckles, ripen'd by the sun, 
Forbid the sun to enter; — like favorites, 
Made proud by princes, that advance then

Against that power that bred it.

INDIAN PIPE. 

Monotropa Uniflora. 

Pale, mournful flower, that hidest in shade 
Mid dewy damps and murky glade, 
With moss and mould, 
Why dost thou hang thy ghastly head, 
So sad and cold ?

Monotropa, or Ghost Flower. 

Where the long, slant rays are beaming, 
Where the shadows cool lie dreaming, 
Pale the Indian pipes are gleaming —

d. Sabah F. Dayis — Summer Song. 

Death in the wood, — 
In the death-pale lips apart; 

Death in a whiteness that curdled the

Now black to the very heart : 

The wonder by her was formed 
Who stands supreme in power ; 

To show that life by the spirit comes 
She gave us a soulless flower!

FLOWERS— JESSAMINE. 



FLO WEES— LILY. 



Jizs in the Arab language is despair, 
And Min the darkest meaning of a lie. 
Thus cried the Jessamine among the flowers, 

How justly doth a lie 

Draw on its head despair ! 
Among the fragrant spirits of the bowers 
The boldest and the strongest still was I. 

Although so fair, 

Therefore from Heaven 
A stronger perfume unto me was given 
Than any blossom of the summer hours. 

Among the flowers no perfume is like mine ; 
That which is best in me comes from 
within. 
So those who in this world would rise and 
shine 
Should seek internal excellence to win. 
And though 'tis true that falsehood and 
despair 
Meet in my name, yet bare it still in mind 
Thai where they meet they perish. All is fail- 
When they are gone and nought remains 
behind. 

a. Leland — Jessamine. 

Out in the lonely woods the jasmine burns 
Its fragrant lamps, and turns 
Into a royal court with green festoons 
The banks of dark lagoons.

LAUREL.

Each chalice holds the infinite air, 

Each rounded cluster grows a sphere; 
A twilight pale she grants us there, 

A rosier sunrise here; 
She broods above the happy earth, 

She dwells upon the enchanted days, — 
A thousand voices hail her birth 

In chants of love and praise.

Content to wither, pale and brief,

Half blotted out with gold!

Shalt from thy dark and lowly bed, 
Bursting thy green sheath's silken string,

Unfold thy robes of purest white, 

Unsullied from their darksome grave, 

And thy soft petals' silvery light 
In the mild breeze unfettered wave. 
u. .Maey Tighe — The Lily. 

The careless eye can find no grace, 

No beauty in the scaly folds, 
Nor see within the dark embrace 

What latent loveliness it holds. 

Yet in that bulb, those sapless scales, 

The lily wraps her silver vest, 
Till vernal suns and vernal gales 

Shall kiss once more her fragrant breast. 

v. Maey Tighe— The Lily.

A perfume half so grateful as the lilies of the

Thou standest like a high-born forest

Among thy maidens clustering round so fair ;-

And look into thy depths, to image there 

A fairy cavern, and while thus beholding, 
And while thy breeze floats o'er thee, match-

I breathe the perfume, delicate and strong, 
That comes like incense from thy petal-

I send thee pansies while the year is young, 

Yellow as sunshine, purple as the night; 
Flowers of remembrance, ever fondly sung 

By all the chiefest of the Sons of Light; 
And if in recollection lives regret 

For wasted days and dreams that were not 
true, 
I tell thee that the "pansy freak'd with jet" 

Is still the heart's ease that the poets knew. 
Take all the sweetness of a gift unsought, 
And for the pansies send me back a thought.

PASSION-FLOWER. 

Passiflora. 

Art thou a type of beauty, or of power, 

Of sweet enjoyment, or disastrous sin? 
For each thy name denoteth, Passion-flower! 

no! thy pure corolla's depth within 
We trace a holier symbol; yea, a sign 

'Twixt God and man; a record of that hour 
When the expiatory act divine 
Cancelled that curse which was our mortal 
dower. 
It is the Cross!

In too much haste to wed, 

And clasps her rings on every hand.

Here are sweet peas, on tiptoe for a flight; 
With wings of gentle flush o'er delicate white,

To bind them all about with tiny rings.

Mill.

As that which is in books. 

a. W. L. Bowles — Primrose. 

The primrose-banks, how fair ! 

b. Bubns — To Chloris. 

Welcome, pale primrose! starting up be- 
tween 
Dead matted leaves of ash and oak that 

strew 
The every lawn, the wood, and spinney

'Mid creeping moss and ivy's darker green; 
How much thy presence beautifies the 
ground! 
How sweet thy modest unaffected pride 
Glows on the sunny bank and wood's warm 
side!

And I laugh like a child as they drip in my

leaves' care. 
j. George MacDonald — Wild Fiowers. 

Mild offspring of a dark and sullen sire ! 
Whose modest form, so delicately fine, 
Was nursed in whirling storms, 
And cradled in the winds. 
Thee when young spring first question'd 

winter's sway, 
And dared the sturdy blusterer to the fight, 
Thee on this bank he threw 
To mark his victory. 
k. Henry Kirke White — To An Early 

Primrose. 



Primroses, the Spring may love them 
Summer knows but little of them. 
I. ~W ob.vswob.tr— Foresight.

n. Bebnabd Babton — To the Evening 

Primrose 

The evening primroses, 
O'er which the wind may hover till it dozes;

Of buds into ripe flowers.

EHODOEA. 

Rhodora. 

In May, when sea-winds pierced our 

solitudes, 
I found the fresh Ehodora in the woods, 
Spreading its leafless blooms in a damp nook. 
To please the desert and the sluggish brook. 
The purple petals, fallen in the pool, 
Made the black water with their beauty gay; 
Here might the red-bird come his plumes to 

cool, 
And court the flower that cheapens his array. 
Ehodora ! if the sages ask thee why 
This charm is wasted on the earth and sky, 
Tell them, dear, that if eyes were made for 

seeing, 
Then Beauty is its own excuse for being: 
Why thou wert there, O rival of the rose! 
I never thought to ask, I never knew; 
But, in my simple ignorance, suppose 
The selfsame power that brought me there 

brought you. 
p. Emebson — The Rhodora.

Red roses, used to praises long, 
Contented with the poets' song,

A queen for all their world of flowers 
The rose would be the choice of Jove 
And blush, the queen of every grove,

Beauty's brow with lustre wreathes 
And to young Zephyr's warm caresses, 
Spreads abroad its verdant tresses.

FLOWERS-ROSE, SWEET-BRIER. 155 



to what uses shall we put 

The wild weed flower that simply blows ? 
And is there any moral shut 
Within the bosom of the rose ? 

a. Tennyson — The Bay-Dream. Moral. 

When a rose is too haughty for Heaven's dew 

She becometh a spider's gray lair; 
And a bosom, that never devotion knew 
Or affection, divine, shall be filled with rue 
And with darkness, and end with despair. 

b. Theudobach — Boses. 

1 saw the rose-grove blushing in pride, 

I gathered the blushing rose — and sigh'd— 
I come from the rose-grove, mother, 
I come from the grove of roses. 

c. Gil Vicente — I Gome from the Uo.se- 

grove, Mother. Trans, by John 
Bowring. 

Go, lovely Rose! 
Tell her that wastes her time and me 

That now she knows, 
When I resemble her to thee, 
How sweet and fair she seems to be. 

d. Waller — Go, Lovely Bose. 

How fair is the rose! what a beautiful flower, 

The glory of April and May! 
But the leaves are beginning to fade in an 
hour, 

And they wither and die in a day. 
Yet the rose has one powerful virtue to boast, 

Above all the flowers of the field; 
When its leaves are all dead, and its fine 
colours lost, 

Still how sweet a perfume it will yield! 

e. Isaac Watts — The Bose. 

The rosebuds lay their crimson lips together, 
And the green leaves are whispering to 

themselves. 
/. Amelia B. Welby — Hopeless Love. 

The garden rose may richly bloom 
In cultured soil and genial air.

Proud be the rose, with rain and dews 
Her head impearling. 
h. Wordsworth — To the Daisy. 

ROSE, MUSK. 

Bosa Moschata. 

I saw the sweetest flower wild nature yields, 
A fresh-blown musk-rose; 'twas the first 
that threw 
Its sweets upon the summer. 
i. Keats — To a Friend who Sent some 

Boses. 

Mid-May's eldest child, 
The coming musk-rose, full of dewy wine, 
The murmurous haunt of flies on summer 
eves.

ROSE, SWEET-BRIER. 

(Eglantine, ) Bosa Bubiginosa. 

Here's eglantine, 
Here's ivy! — take them as I used to do 
Thy flowers, and keep them where they shall 

not pine. 
Instruct thine eyes to keep their colors 

true, 
And tell thy soul their roots are left in mine. 
k. E. B . Browning — Trans, from the 

Portuguese. XLII. 

Sometimes I choose the lilj T , without stain; 

The royal rose sometimes the best I call; 
Then the low daisy, dancing with the rain, 

Doth seem to me the finest flower of all; 
And yet if only one could bloom for me — 
I know right well what flower that one woulr> 
be! 

I. Alice Cary — The Field Sweet-Brier. 

The sweet-brier under the window-sill, 
Which the early birds made glad, 

And the damask rose by the garden fence, 
Were all the flowers we had.

Sycamores with eglantine were spread, 
A hedge about the sides, a covering over- 
head.

Line 94 . 

The fresh eglantine exhaled a breath, 
Whose odours were of power to raise from 
death, 
o. Dryden — The Flower and the Leaf . 

Line 95. 

The sweet-brier rose — the wayside rose, 

Still spreads its fragrant arms, 
Where graciously to passing eyes 

It gave its simple charms. 

p. Caroline Gilman — Beturn to 

Massachusetts. 

All day the winds about her cool the air, 
Faint sounds the tinkle of the waterfall, — 

What is the sudden answer you may bear, 
wayward rose, that blossoms by the 

wall? 
q. Dora Read Goodale — Sweet-Brier. 

Wild-rose, Sweet-brier, Eglantine, 
All these pretty names are mine, 
And scent in every leaf is mine, 
And a leaf for all is mine, 
And the scent — Oh, that's divine! 
Happy-sweet and pungent fine, 
Pure as dew, and pick'd as wine.

Line 104. 
The garden rose may richly bloom 

In cultured soil and genial air, 
To cloud the light of Fashion's room 

Or droop in Beauty's midnight hair, 
In lovelier grace to sun and dew

Its single leaf and fainter hue 

Untrained and wildly free, yet still a sister 
rose.

And the young winds fed it with silver dew, 
And it opened its fan-like leaves to the light, 
And clothed them beneath the kisses of 
night. 
k. Shelley — The Sensitive Plant. Pt. I. 



For the Sensitive Plant has no bright flower; 

Radiance and odour are not its dower;

full, 
It desires what it has not, the Beautiful.

All the beauties that appear, 
On the bosom of the year, 
All that wreathe the locks of Spring, 
Summer's ardent breath perfume, 
Or on the lap of Autumn bloom, 
All to thee their tribute bring. 

n. Montgomery — The Snow-Drop. 

Lone Flower, hemmed in with snows and 

white as they 
But hardier far, once more I see thee bend 
Thy forehead, as if fearful to offend, 
Like an unbidden guest. Though day by 

day, 
Storms sallying from the mountain-tops, 

waylay 
The rising sun and on the plains descend; 
Yet art thou welcome, welcome as a friend 
Whose zeal outruns his promise! 
o. Wobdswobth — To a Snow-Drop. 

Nor will I then thy modest grace forget, 
Chaste Snow-drop, venturous harbinger of 

Spring, 
And pensive monitor of fleeting years ! 
p. Woedswoeth— To a Snow-Drop. 

SPIREA. 

Spiraea. 

And yet she follows every turn 
With spires of closely clustered bloom, 
And all the wildness of the place, 
The narrow pass, the rugged ways, 
But give her larger room. 

And near the unfrequented road, 
By waysides scorched with barren heat, 
In clouded pink or softer white 
She holds the Summer's generous light,— 
Our native meadow sweet !

He only earns his freedom and existence 
Who daily conquers them anew.

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born

With a glory in his bosom that transfigures

With ten well-developed tongues, the Lily 

never speaks!

In all thy humours, whether grave or mellow,

thee.

The mind never unbends itself so agreeably 
as in the conversation of a well-chosen friend- 
There is indeed no blessing of life that is 
any way comparable to the enjoyment of a 
discreet and virtuous friend. It eases and 
unloads the mind, clears and improves the 
understanding, engenders thoughts and 
knowledge, animates virtue and good resolu- 
tions, soothes and allays the passions, and 
finds employment for most of the vacant 
hours of life.

fellow, is, — Let there be truth between us. 
two forevermore. * * * * It is sublime 
to feel and say of another, I need never meet, 
or speak, or write to him; we need not rein- 
force ourselves, or send tokens of remem- 
brance; I rely on him as on myself; if he did 
thus or thus, I know it was right.

FRIENDSHIP. 



173 



There can never be deep peace between 
two spirits, never mutual respect, until, in 
their dialogue, each stands for the whole 
world. 

a. Emerson— Essay. Of Friendship. 

When I have attempted to join myself to 
others by services, it proved an intellectual 
trick, — no more. They eat your service like 
aprdes, and leave you out. But love them, 
and they feel you, and delight in you all the 
time. 

b. Emerson — Essay. Of Gifts. 

A sudden thought strikes me; let us swear 
an eternal friendship. 

c. Frere — The Rovers. Act I. Sc. 1. 

Friendship, like love, is but a name, 
Unless to one you stint the flame. 
<i. Gat — The Hare with Many Friends. 

To friendship every burden's light. 
e. Gay — The Hare with Many Friends. 

Who friendship with a knave hath made, 
Is judg'd a partner in the trade. 
/. Gat — The Old Woman and Her Cats. 

And what is friendship but a name, 

A charm that lulls to sleep; 
A shade that follows wealth or fame, 

And leaves the wretch to weep ? 

g. Goldsmith — The Hermit. St. 19. 

Friendship is a wide portal, and sometimes 
admits love. 
h. Anna Katharine Green— The Sword 
of Damocles. Bk. HI. Ch. XXIX. 

O Friendship, flavor of flowers! O lively 

sprite of life! 
O sacred bond of blissful peace, the stal- 

worth staunch of strife. 
i. Grimoald — Of Friendship. Line 21. 

Thou learnest no secret until thou knowest 
friendship, since to the unsound no heavenly 
knowledge enters. 

j. Hafiz. 

Friendship closes its eye, rather than see 
the moon eclipst; while malice denies that it 
is ever at the full. 

k. 3. C. and A. W. Hare — Guesses at 

Truth. 

Friendship is Love, without either flowers 
or veil. 
I. 3. C. and A. W. Hare — Guesses at 

Truth. 

Fast as the rolling seasons bring 

The hour of fate to those we love, 
Each pearl that leaves the broken string 

Is set in Friendship's crown above. 
As narrower grows the earthly chain, 

The circle widens in the sky ; 
These are our treasures that remain, 

But those are stars that beam on high. 

mi. Holmes— Songs of Many Seasons. 

Our Classmate, F. W. C, 1864. 



Friendship, peculiar boon of heaven, 
The noble mind's delight and pride, 

To men and angels only given, 
To all the lower world denied. 
n. Sam'l Johnson — Friendship. An Ode. 

Come back! ye friendships long departed! 
That like o'erflowing streamlets started, 
And now are dwindled, one by one, 
To stony channels in the sun! 
Come back! ye friends, whose lives are ended, 
Come back, with all that light attended, 
Which seemed to darken and decay 
When ye arose and went away! 
o. Longfellow — Christus. The Golden 
Legend. Pt. I. 

You will forgive me, I hope, for the sake of 

the friendship between us, 
Which is too true and too sacred to be so 
easily broken! 
p. Longfellow — The Courtship of Miles 
Standish. Pt. VI. 

Is there anything in the world to be re- 
puted (I will not say compared) to friend- 
ship? Can any treasure in this transitory 
pilgrimage be of more valew than a friend ? 

q. liYLX—Ephues. The Anatomy of Wit. 

Common friendships will admit of divi- 
sion, one may love the beauty of this, the 
good humour of that person, the liberality 
of a third, the paternal affection of a fourth, 
the fraternal love of a fifth, and so on. But 
this friendship that possesses the whole soul, 
and there rules and sways with an absolute 
sovereignty, can admit of no rival. 

r. Montaigne — Essays. Bk. I. 

Ch. XXVII. 

The songs which Anna loved to hear, 
May vanish from her heart and ear; 
But friendship's voice shall ever find 
An echo in that gentle mind, 
Nor memory lose, nor time impair 
The sympathies that tremble there. 
s. Moore — To Mrs. — . 

True friendship between man and man is 
infinite and immortal. 
t. Plato. 

A generous friendship no cold medium 

knows, 
Burns with one love, with one resentment 

glows ; 
One should our interests and our passions 

be, 
My friend must hate the man that injures 

me. 
u. Pope's Homer's Iliad. Bk. IX. 

Line 725. 

There is nothing that is meritorious but 
virtue and friendship, and indeed friendship 
itself is only a part of virtue.

C. PYTHAGORAS. 

Call you that backing of your friends ? A

that will face me. 

d. Henry IV. Pt. I. Act II. Sc. 4. 

Ceremony was but devis'd at first 
To set a gloss on faint deeds, hollow wel- 
comes, 
Recanting goodness, sorry ere 'tis shown; 
But where there is true friendship, there 
needs none. 

e. Timon of Athens. Act I. Sc. 2. 

Friendship is constant in all other things, 
Save in the office and affairs of love : 
Therefore, all hearts in love use their own 

tongues; 
Let every eye negociate for itself, 
And trust no agent.

A smile among dark frowns — a gentle tone 
Among rude voices, a beloved light, 
A solitude, a refuge, a delight. 

q. Shelley — Fragments. To . 

Lint 40. 

Life is to be fortified by many friendships. 
To love and to be loved, is the greatest hap- 
piness of existence. 

r. Sydney Smith— Of Friendship. 

We call friendship the love of the Dark 
Ages, 

s. Madame de Stall. 

Because friendship is that by which the 
world is most blessed and receives most 
good, it ought to be chosen amongst the 
worthiest persons; that is, amongst those 
that can do greatest benefit to each other. 

t. Jeremy Taylor— The Measures and 
Offices of Friendship. 

Friendship is like rivers, and the strand of 
seas, and the air, common to all the world; 
but tyrants, and evil customs, wars, and 
want of love, have made them proper and 
peculiar. 

a. Jeremy Taylor — Tlte Measures and 
Offices of Friendship. 

In friendships some are worthy, and some 
are necessary; some dwell hard by, and are 
fitted for converse; nature joins some to us, 
and religion combines us with others: society 
and accidents, parity of fortune, and equal 
disposition, do actuate our friendships: 
which of themselves and in their prime dis- 
positions, are prepared for all mankind ac- 
cording as any one can receive them. 

v. Jeremy Taylor — The Measures and 
Offices of Friendship. 

Nature and religion are the bands of friend- 
ship , excellency and usefulness are its great 
endearments. 

ic. Jeremy Taylor — The Measures and 
Offices of Friendship. 

Our friendships to mankind may admit 
variety as does our conversation; and as by 
nature we are made sociable to all. so we are 
friendly; but as ail can not actually be of our 
society, so neither can all be admitted to a 
special, actual friendship.

Some friendships are made by nature, 
some by contract, some by interest, and 
some by souls. 

a. Jeremy Taylor — The Measures and 

Offices of Friendship. 

When we speak of friendship, which is 
the best thing in the world (for it is love and 
beneficence, it is charity that is fitted for 
society), we cannot suppose a brave pile 
should be built up with nothing. 

b. Jeremy Taylor — The Measures and 

Offices of Friendship. 

For tho' the faults were thick as dust in 
vacant chambers, I could trust your kind- 
ness. 

c. Tennyson — To the Queen. St. 5. 

More years had made me love thee more. 

d. Tennyson — In Memoriam. Pt. LXXX. 

O friendship, equal-poised control, 
O heart, with kindliest motion warm, 
O sacred essence, other form, 

O solemn ghost, O crowned soul! 

e. Tennyson — In Memoriam. 

Pt. LXXXIV. 

Once let friendship be given that is born 
of God, nor time nor circumstance can 
change it to a lessening; it must be mutual 
growth, increasing trust, widening faith, en- 
during patience, forgiving love, unselfish 
ambition, and an affection built before the 
Throne, which will bear the test of time and 
trial. 
/. Allan Throckmorton— OnFriendship. 

Friendship is the holiest of gifts; 

God can bestow nothing more sacred upon 

us! 
It enhances every joy, mitigates every pain. 
Everyone can have a friend, 
Who himself knows how to be a friend. 
g. Tiedge. 

Friendship— our friendship— is like the 

beautiful shadows of evening, 
Spreading and growing till life and its light 
pass away. 
h. Michael Vitkovics — Love and 

Friendship. 

True friendship is a plant of slow growth, 
and must undergo and withstand the shocks 
of adversity, before it is entitled to the ap- 
pellation.

Friendship. 

The surest bulwark against evil is that of 
friendship. 
j. Yonge's Cicero. Be Finibus. 

What rocm can there be for friendship, or 
who can he a friend to any one whom he 
does not love for his own sake? And what 
is loving, from which verb (amo) the very 
name of friendship {amicitia) is derived, but 
wishing a certain person to enjoy the great- 
est possible good fortune, even if none of it 
accrues to oneself?

Nay, sometime, hangs both thief and true

p. Gymbeline. Act HI. Sc. 3. 

Commerce has set the mark of selfishness ; 
The signet of its all-enslaving power 
Upon a shining ore, and called it gold: 
Before whose image bow the vulgar great, 
The vainly rich, the miserable proud, 
The mob of peasants, nobles, priests, and 

kings, 
And with blind feelings reverence the power 
That grinds them to the dust of misery. 
But in the temple of their hireling hearts 
Gold is a living god, and rules in scorn 
All earthly things but virtue.

GREATNESS. 

Burn to be great, 
Pay not thy praise to lofty things alone. 
The plains are everlasting as the hills, 
The bard cannot have two pursuits ; aught else 
Comes on the mind with the like shock as 

though 
Two worlds had gone to war, and met in air. 
And now that thou hast heard thus much 

from one 
Not wont to seek, nor give, nor take advice, 
Eemember, whatsoe'er thou art as man, 
Suffer the world, entreat it and forgive. 
They who forgive most shall be most forgiven. 
k. Bailey — Festus. Sc. Home.

r. Ben Jonson— The Forest. 

To Lady Aubigny. 

Hear ye not the hum 
Of mighty workings? 
s. Keats — Addressed to Haydon. 

Great men stand like solitary towers in 
the city of God, and secret passages running 
deep beneath external nature give their 
thoughts intercourse with higher intelli- 
gences, which strengthens and consoles them, 
and of which the laborers on the surface do 
not even dream.

lie openest to the inroads of temptation.

That honourable grief lodg'd here, which 

burns 
Worse than tears drown . 

b. Winter's Tale. Act II. Sc. 1. 

But I have that within which passeth show; 
These, but the trappings and the suits of 
woe. 

c. Hamlet. Act I. Sc. 2. 

Each substance of a grief hath twenty- 
shadows, 
Which show like grief itself, but are not so: 
For sorrow's eye, glazed with blinding tears, 
Divides one thing entire to many objects. 

d. Richard 11. Act II. Sc. 2. 

Every one can master a grief, but he that has 
it.

Grief fills the room up of my absent child; 
Lies in his bed, walks up -and down with me, 
Puts on his pretty looks, repeats his words, 
Remembers me of all his gracious parts, 
Stuffs out his vacant garments with his form ; 
Then have I reason to be fond of grief. 
g. King John. Act III. Sc. 4. 

Grief is proud, and makes his owner stoop.

Thou robb'st me of a moiety. 

n. All's Well That Ends Well. Act III. 

Sc. 2. 



Men 
Can counsel, and speak comfort to that grief 
Which they themselves not feel; but tasting it 
Their counsel turns to passion, which before 
Would give preceptial medicine to rage, 
Fetter strong madness with a silken thread. 
Charm ache with air, and agony with words 
o. Much Ado About Nothing. Act V.

My body round engirt with misery ; 
For what's more miserable than discontent? 
r. Henry VI. Pt. II. Act HI. Sc. 1. 

Nor doth the general care 
Take hold on me; for my particular grief 
Is of so flood-gate and o'erbearing nature, 
That it engluts and swallows other sorrows, 
And it is still itself. 
s. Othello. Act I. Sc. 3. 

O! grief hath chang'd me, since you saw me 

last; 
And careful hours, with Time's deformed 

hand 
Have written strange departures in my face.

She looks upon his lips, and they are pale; 

She takes him by the hand, and that is cold;

She lifts the coffer-lids that close his eyes, 
Where, lo! two lamps, burnt out, in 

darkness lies.

Some grief shows much of love; 
But much of grief shows still some want of wit.

When grief hath mates. 

x. King Lear. Act IH. Sc. 6. 

'Tis sweet and commendable in your nature, 

Hamlet, 
To give these mourning duties to your 

father; 
But, you must know, your father lost a 

father; 
That father lost, lost his; and the survivor 

bound 
In filial obligation, for some term 
To do obsequious sorrow: But to persevere 
In obstinate condolement, is a course 
Of impious stubbornness.

Bears such an emphasis ? whose phrase of 

sorrow 
Conjures the wand'ring stars, and makes

Like wonder-wounded hearers? 

b. Hamlet Act V. Sc. 1. 

What private griefs they have, alas! I know

Waiting for a hand, 
A hand that can be clasp'd no more. 
j. Tennyson — In Memoriam. Pt. VII. 

No greater grief! Is it then always grief 
Remembering happier times in times of 

sorrow ? 
Does one day of delight ne'er bring relief 
To the sick soul on a despairful morrow? 
Past joys are a possession.

Our own felicity we make or find. 

w. Goldsmith — The Traveller Line 431. 

Happiness consists in activity : such is the 
constitution of our nature: it is a running 
stream, and not a stagnant pool.

HAPPINESS. 



HATRED. 



191 



No man can be happy without exercising 
the virtue of a cheerful industry or activity. 
No man can lay in his claim to happiness, 
I mean the happiness that shall last through 
the fair run of life, without chastity, without 
temperance, without sobriety, without econ- 
omy, without self-command, and, conse- 
quently, without fortitude; and, let me add, 
without a liberal and forgiving spirit. 

0. Good — The Book of Nature. 

Series HI. Lecture VH. 

The rays of happiness, like those of light, 
are colorless when unbroken. 

b. Longfellow — Kavanagh. Ch. XIH.

Is to be happy. 

c. Longfellow — Christus. The Golden 

Legend. Pt. H. 

And feel that I am happier than I know.

Line 282. 

No eye to watch and no tongue to wound us, 
All earth forgot, and all heaven around us. 

e. Mooee — Come o'er the Sea. 

Fix'd to no spot is Happiness sincere; 
'Tis nowhere to be found, or ev'ry where ; 
1 Tis never to be bought, but always free. 
/. Pope — Essay on Man. Ep. IV. 

Line 15. 
Heaven to mankind impartial we confess, 
If all are equal in their happiness; 
But mutual wants this happiness increase, 
All nature's difference keeps all nature's 
peace. 
g. Pope — Essay on Man. Ep. TV. 

Line 53. 

Oh happiness! our being's end and aim! 
Good, Pleasure, Ease, Content! whateer thy 

name; 
That something still which prompts th' eter- 
nal sigh, 
Eor which we bear to live, or dare to die. 
h. Pope — Essay on Man. Ep. IV. 

Line 1. 

Happiness lies in the consciousness we 
have of it, and by no means in the way the 
future keeps its promises. 

i. Geoeges Sand — Handsome Lawrence. 

Ch. H. 

How bitter a thing it is to look into happi- 
ness through another man's eyes! 
j. As You Like It. Act V. Sc. 2. 

Our day of marriage shall be yours; 
One feast, one house, one mutual happiness. 
k. Two Gentlemen of Verona. Act V. 

Sc. 4. 
Ye seek for happiness — alas, the day! 
Ye find it not in luxury nor in gold, 
Nor in the fame, nor in the envied sway 
For which, willing slave to Custom old, 
Severe task mistress! ye your hearts have 

sold. 

1. Shelley— Revolt of Islam. Canto XI. 

St. 17. 



Mankind are always happier for having 
been happy; so that if you make them happy 
now, you make them happy twenty years 
hence by the memory of it.

Affections. 
Be happy, but be so by piety. 
n. Madame de Stael — Corinne.

HASTE. 

The more haste, ever the worst speed. 

p. Chuechtll — The Ghost. Bk. IV. 

Line 1162. 
Haste is of the Devil. 

q. Koran. 

Haste trips up its own heels, fetters and 
stops itself, 
r. Seneca. 

He tires betimes, that spurs too fast betimes; 
With eager feeding, food doth choke the 

feeder: 
Light vanity, insatiate cormorant, 
Consuming means, n preys upon itself. 
s. Richard II. Act H. Sc. 1. 

Nay, but make haste; the better foot before, 
t. Zing J hn. Act IV. Sc. 2.

fast.

Then let him know that hatred without end 
Or intermission is between us two.

Men love in haste, but they detest at leisure.

HATRED. 



HEART. 



Heaven has no rage like love t© hatred 

turned, 
Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.

1. 



Never can true reconcilement grow, 
Where wounds of deadly hate have pierced 
so deep. 
e. Milton — Paradise Lost. Bk. IV. 

Line 98. 

It is only hatred, not love, that requires 
explanation. The source of the best and 
holiest, from the universe up to God, is hidden 
behind a night, full of too-distant stars. 

/. Eichtee — Flower, Fruit and Thorn 

Pieces. Ch. II. 

How like a fawning publican he looks! 
I hate him, for he is a Christian: 
But more, for that, in low simplicity, 
He lends out money gratis, and brings down 
The rate of usance here with us in Venice. 
g. The Merchant of Venice. Act I. Sc. 3. 

I do hate him as I do hell pains. 
h. Othello. Act I. Sc. 1. 

'Tis greater skill 
In a true hate, to pray they have their will. 
i. Cymbeline. Act II. Sc. 5. 



HEALTH. 

Health, affrighted, spreads her rosy wing 
And flies with every changing gale of spring. 
j. Byron — Childish Recollections. 

Health that snuffs the morning air. 
k. Grainger — Ode to Solitude. 

There are three wicks * * * * to the 
lamp of a man's life : brain, blood, and breath. 
Press the brain a little, its light goes out, 
followed by both the others. Stop the heart 
a minute, and out go all three of the wicks. 
Choke the air out of the lungs, and presently 
the fluid ceases to supply the other centres 
of flame, and all is soon stagnation, cold, 
and darkness. 

I. Holmes — Professor at the Breakfast- 
Table. Ch. XI. 

Maybe he is not well: 
Infirmity doth still neglect all office, 
Whereto our health is bound. 
'm. King Lear. Act H. Sc. 4. 



Now, good digestion wait on appetite, 
And health on both! 

n. Macbeth. Act HI. Sc. 4.

One eare it heard, 
s. Chauceb-

Strike, but hear me. 
t. Plutarch— Bollin's Ancient Histon,. 
Bk. VI. Ch. TL 

For seldom shall she hear a tale 
So sad, so tender, and so true. 
u. Shenstone— Jemmy Dawson. 

They never would hear, 
But turn a deaf ear, 
As a matter they had no concern in. 
v. Swift — Dingley and Brent. 

HEART. 

His heart was one of those which most 

enamours us, 
Wax to receive and marble to retain. 
w. Bybon — Beppo. St. 34. 

Some hearts are hidden, some have not a 
heart. 

x. Crabbe — The Borough. Letter XVH. 

His heart was in his work, and the heart 
Giveth grace unto every Art. 
y. Longfellow — The Building of the 

Ship. Line 7. 

Something the heart must have to cherish, 

Must love, and joy, and sorrow learn; 
Something with passion clasp, or perish, 

And in itself to ashes burn. 

z. Longfellow — Hyperion. Bk. H. 

Introduction- 
Stay, stay at home, my heart and rest ; 
Home-keeping hearts are happiest, 
For those that wander they know not where 
Are full of trouble and full of care; 

To stay at home is best. 

aa. Longfellow — Sow;.

Better to have the poet's heart than brain, 
Feeling than song; but better far than both, 
To be a song, a music of God's making. 

a. George MacDonald— Within and 

Without. Pt. IH. Sc. 9. 

The heart is like an instrument whose strings 
Steal nobler music from Life's many frets : 
The golden threads are spun thro' Suffering's 

fire, 
Wherewith the marriage-robes for heaven 

are woven : 
And all the rarest hues of human life 
Take radiance, and are rainbow'd out in 

tears. 

b. Gerald Massey — Wedded Love. 

This house is to be let for life or years; 
Her rent is sorrow, and her income tears; 
Cupid 't has long stood void; her bills make 

known, 
She must be dearly let, or let alone. 

c. Quarles— Emblems. Bk. II. 

Epigram X. 

At this sight 
My heart is turn'd to stone: and while 'tis

It shall be stony.

Eye hath not seen it, my gentle boy! 
Ear hath not heard its deep songs of joy; 
Dreams can not picture a world so fair- 
Sorrow and death may not enter there; 
Time doth not breathe on its fadeless bloom. 
For beyond the clouds, and beyond the 
tomb, 
It is there, it is there my child! 
9)i. Mrs. Hemans— The Better Land. 

There is a land where beauty cannot fade, 

Nor sorrow dim the eye; 
Where true love shall not droop nor be dis- 
mayed, 

And none shall ever die. 

n. Mary Howitt — Song of Margaret. 

Attempt not to fathom the secrets of heaven. 
But gratefully use what to thee is here given ; 
For none have returned from that realm of 

bliss, 
To tell how those fared who have prayed 
much in this,

The hasty multitude 
Admiring enter'd; and the work some praise

In heaven by many a tower'd structure high, 
Where scepter'd angels held their residence, 
And sat as princes. 

v. Milton — Paradise Lost. Bk. I.

Form'd for the good alone :

Translated to that happier sphere.

■of song. 

d. Longfellow — Outre-Mer. Ancient 

Spanish Ballads. 

They who lived in history only seemed to 
walk the earth again. 

e. Longfellow — The Belfry of Bruges. 

In a word, we may gather out of history a 
policy no less wise than eternal; by the com- 
parison and application of other men's fore- 
passed miseries with our own like errors 
and ill deservings. 
/. Sir Walter Baleigh — History of the 
World. Oxford Edition. Vol. II. 
Preface V. and VI. 

I have read somewhere or other, in Diony- 
sius of Halicarnassus, I think, that History 
is Philosophy teaching by examples. 

g. Henkt St. John — On the Study and 

Use of History. Letter II. 

I do love these ancient ruins 
We never tread upon them, but we set 
Our foot upon some reverend history.

HOLIDAYS. 

The holiest of all holidays are those 
Kept by ourselves in silence and apart, 
The secret anniversaries of the heart, 

When the full river of feeling overflows ; — 

The happy clays unclouded to their close, 
The sudden joys that out of darkness start 
As flames from ashes; swift desires, that 
dart 

Like swallows singing down each wind 
that blows: 
('. Longfellow — Holidays. 

Being holiday, the beggar's shop is shut. 
j. Borneo and Juliet. Act V. Sc. 1.

To sport would be as tedious as to work.

HOLINESS. 

Holiness and happiness are always an in- 
dissolvable connection ; yea, holiness is 
felicity itself. 

n. Alexander Macwoeter — Series of 

Sermons. Sermon VIII. 

God attributes to place 
No sanctity, if none be thither brought 
By men who there frequent. 

o. Milton — Paradise Lost. Bk. XL 

Line 836. 
All his mind is bent to holiness, 
To number Ave-Marias on his beads: 
His champions are the prophets and apostles; 
His weapons, holy saws of sacred writ; 
His study is his tilt-yard, and his loves 
Are brazen images of canonis'd saints. 

p. Henry VI. Pt. II. Act I. Sc. 3. 

He who the sword of heaven will bear 
Should be as holy as severe; 
Pattern in himself, to know, 
Grace to stand, and virtue go; 
More nor less to others paying, 
Than by self offences weighing. 
Shame to him, whose cruel striking 
Kills for faults of his own liking! 

q. Measure for Measure. Act HI. Sc. 2. 

Our holy lives must win a new world's 
crown.

Th' expectant wee-things, todlin, stacher 
thro' 
To meet their dad, wi' flichter in noise an 

glee. 
t. Burns — The Cotter's Saturday 

Night. St. 3. 

For a man's house is his castle. 

u. Sir Edwaed Coke— Third Institute. 

P. 162. 

The house of every one is to him as his 
castle and fortress, as well for his defence 
against injury and violence, as for his re- 
pose. 

v. Sir Edwaed Coke — Semaynes' Case. 

5Bep. 91. 

At night returning, every labour sped, 

He sits him down the monarch of a shed; 

Smiles by his cheerful fire, and round sur- 
veys 

His children's looks that brighten at the 
blaze ; 

While his lov'd partner, boastful of her 
hoard, 

Displays her cleanly platter on the board.

HONOR. 



Who hath not met with home-made bread, 

A heavy compound of putty and lead — 

And home-made wines that rack the head, 

And home-made liquors and waters? 

Home-made pop that •will not foam, 

And home-made dishes that drive one from 

home — 
********* 

Home-made by the homely daughters. 
a. Hood — Miss Kilmansegg. 

Cling to thy home! If there the meanest 

shed 
Yield thee a hearth and a shelter for thy 

head, 
And some poor plot, •with vegetables stored, 
Be all that Heaven allots thee for thy board, 
Unsavory bread, and herbs that scatter'd 

grow 
"Wild on the river-brink or mountain-brow; 
Yet e'en this cheerless mansion shall provide 
More heart's repose than all the -world be- 
side, 
o. Leoneoas — Home. 

Subduing and subdued, the petty strife, 
Which clouds the colour of domestic life; 
The sober comfort, all the peace which 

springs 
From the large aggregate of little things; 
On these small cares of daughter, wife or 

friend, 
The almost sacred joys of home depend, 
c. Hannah Mobe — Sensibility. 

By the fireside still the light is shining, 
The children's arms round the parents twin- 
ing 
From love so sweet, O who would roam? 
Be it ever so homely, home is home. 
cZ. D. M. Mtjlock — A Shetland Fairy 

Tale. Sc. 4. 

There is no place like home. 
e. J. Howabd Payne — Song.

A few paternal acres bound, 
Content to breathe his native air 

In his own ground. 

/. Pope — Ode on Solitude. St. 1. 

Fireside happiness to hours of ease 
Blest with that charm, the certainty to please.

them off,

is to be one man picked out of two thousand.

HONOR. 

Better to die ten thousand deaths, 
Than wound my honour . 
w. Addison — Cato. Act I. Sc. 4. 

The sense of honour is of so fine and delicate

minds which are naturally noble, or in such 
as have been cultivated by great examples, or 
a refined education. 

a;. Addison — The Guardian. No. 161. 

When vice prevails, and impious men bear

Hurts honor than deep wounds before.

t. Jidius Caesar. Act IV. Sc. 3. 

Can honour set to a leg ? No. Or an arm ?

Alas! ■what are the hopes of man, even 
when he concludes that things must alter 
for the better, seeing that they are at their 
worst? How is he to be quite sure, * * * 
that things have been at their -worst? — that 
his cup of calamity, full as it seemed, is not 
to be succeeded by, or -wonderfully expanded 
into, a still larger cup, with a remaining 
draught of bitterness ?

HUMANITY. 

Yet should one, 
A single sufferer from the field escaped, 
Panting and pale, and bleeding at his feet, 
Lift his imploring eyes, — the hero weeps;

Yet 'tis the weakness of a virtuous mind.

Greatness. 

Humility may be taken for granted as ex- 
isting in every sane human being, but it may 
be that it most truly manifests itself to-day 
in the readiness with which we bow to new 
truths as they come from the scholars, the 
teachers, to whom the inspiration of the Al- 
mighty giveth understanding.

God hath sworn to lift on high 
Who sinks himself by true humility.

Hooker's Tomb. 

O be very sure 
That no man will learn anything at all, 
Unless he first will learn humility.

Hide their diminish'd heads. 

c. Milton — Paradise Lost. Bk. IV. 

Line 34. 

Come, pensive Nun, devout and pure, 
Sober, steadfast, and demure, 
All in a robe of darkest grain, 
Plowing with majestic train, 
And sable stole of Cyprus lawn, 
Over thy decent shoulders drawn. 

d. Milton — 11 Penseroso. Line 31. 

Humility, that low, sweet root, 

From which all heavenly virtues shoot.

Love and meekness, my lord, 
Become a churchman better than ambition ; 
Win straying souls with modesty again, 
Cast none away. 
i. Henry VIII. Act V. Sc. 2. 

Humility is to make a right estimate of 
one's self. It is no humility for a man to 
think less of himself than he ought, though 
it might rather puzzle him to do that. 

j. Spurgeon — Gleanings Among the 

Sheaves. Humility. 

The higher a man is in grace, the lower he

Bone and skin, two millers thin, 

Would starve us all, or near it; 
But be it known to Skin and Bone 

That Flesh and Blood can't bear it. 

q. Byron— Epigram on Two Monopolists. 

But man is a carnivorous production, 

And must have meals, at least one meal a 
day; 
He cannot live, like woodcocks, upon suction, 
But, like the shark and tiger, must have 

prey. 
r. Byron— Don Juan. Canto II. St. 67. 

Cassius has a lean and hungry look.

They vented their complainings.

Some hypocrites and seeming mortified

place in the very bowing of the vaults of 
churches, that look as if they held up the 
church, but are but puppets. 

i. Bacon — Apothegms. No. 273.

Than, living dully sluggard is'd at home, 
Wear out thy youth with, shapeless idleness. 
p. Two Gentlemenof Verona. Act I. Sc. 1. 
Their only labour was to kill the time, 
And labour dire it is, and weary woe: 
They sit, they loll, turn o'er some idle rhyme, 
Then, rising sudden, to the glass they go, 
Or saunter forth, with tottering steps and 

slow; 
This soon too rude an exercise they find; 
Strait on the couch their limbs again they 

throw, 
Where hours on hours they sighing lie re- 

clin'd, 
And court the vapoury god soft-breathing in 

the wind . 
q. Thomson — Castle of Indolence. 



There is no remedy for time misspent; 
No healing for the waste of idleness, 
Whose very languor is a punishment 
Heavier than active souls can feel or guess.

For Satan finds some mischief still 
For idle hands to do.

The most ignorant are the most conceited. 
Unless a man knows that there is something

Imagination fondly stoops to trace 

The parlour-splendours of that festive place ; 

The white-wash'd wall, the nicely sanded 

floor, 
The varnish'd clock that click'd behind the 

door: 
The chest contriv'd a double debt to pay — 
A bed by night, a chest of drawers by day. 
v. Goldsmith— Deserted Village. 

Line 225. 

To those who see only with their eyes, the 
distant is always indistinct and little, be- 
coming less and less as it recedes, till utterly 
lost; but to the imagination, which thus re- 
verses the perspective of the senses, the far 
off is great and imposing, the magnitude in- 
creasing with the distance.

And, as imagination bodies forth 

The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen 

Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy

A local habitation and a name. 

a. Midsummer Night's Dream. Act V.

d. Macbeth. Act I. Sc. 3. 

The lunatic, the lover and the poet 
Are of imagination all compact. 

e. Midsummer Night's Dream. Act V. 

Sc. 1. 

This is a gift that I have, simple, simple; 
a foolish extravagant spirit, full of forms, 
figures, shapes, objects, apprehensions, mo-

ventricle of memory, nourished in the womb 
of pia mater, and delivered upon the mellow- 
ing of occasion. 

/. Love's Labour's Lost. Act IV. Sc. 2. 

This is the very coinage of your brain, 
This bodiless creation ecstasy. 
g. Hamlet. Act III. Sc. 4. 

We figure to ourselves

As chance will have it, on the rock or sand; 
For thought is tired of wandering o'er the

And home bound fancy runs her bark ashore.

IMMORTALITY. 

It must be so — Plato thou reasonest well! — 
Else whence this pleasing hope, this fond 

desire, 
This longing after immortality ? 
Or whence this' secret dread, and inward 

horror, 
Of falling into nought? Why shrinks the 

soul 
Back on herself and startles at destruction ? 
'Tis the divinity that stirs within us; 
'Tis Heaven itself that points out an hereafter 
And intimates Eternity to man. 
i. Addison — Cato. Act V. Sc. 1. 

The stars shall fade away, the sun himself 
Grow dim with age, and nature sink in 

years ; 
But thou shall flourish in immortal youth, 
Unhurt amidst the war of elements, 
The wreck of matter, and the crush of 
worlds. 
i. Addison — Cato. Act V. Sc. 1. 



No, no! The energy of life may be 
Kept in after the grave, but not begun; 
And he who flagg'd not in the earthly strife, 
From strength to strength advancing — only 

he; 
His soul well-knit, and all his battles won, 
Mounts, and that hardly, to eternal life. 
k. Matthew Aenold — Immortality. 

St. 4. 

In vain do individuals hope for immortal- 
ity, or any patent from oblivion, in preser- 
vations below the moon; men have been de- 
ceived even in their flatteries, above the sun, 
and studied conceits to perpetuate their 
names in heaven. 

I. Sir Thomas Beowne — Hydriotaphia.

There is nothing strictly immortal, but

Ch. V. 

Immortality is the glorious discovery of 
Christianity. 
«. Channing — Immortality. 

There is, I know not how, in the minds of 
men, a certain presage, as it were, of a future 
existence; and this takes the deepest root, 
and is most discoverable, in the greatest 
geniuses and most exalted souls. 

o. Ciceeo. 

One short sleep past, we wake eternally; 
And death shall be no more; death, thou 
shalt die. 
p. Donne — Sonnet. 

But all lost things are in the angels' keeping, 

Love; 
No past is dead for us, but only sleeping, 

Love; 
The years of heaven will all earth's little 
pain 

Make good, 
Together there we can begin again 

In babyhood.

IMMORTALITY. 



INDEPENDENCE. 



I held it ever, 
Virtue and cunning were endowments 

greater 
Than nobleness and riches: careless heirs 
May the two latter darken and expend; 
But immortality attends the former, 
Making a man a god. 

a. Pericles. Act III. Sc. 2. 

Look, here's the warrant, Claudio, for thy 

death : 
*Tis now dead midnight, and by eight 

to-morrow 
Thou must be made immortal. 

b. Measure for Measure. Act IV. Sc. 2. 

Thy lord shall never die, the whiles this 

verse 
Shall live, and surely it shall live for ever; 
For ever it shall live, and shall rehearse 
His worthy praise, and vertues dying never, 
Though death his soul do from his body 

sever: 
And thou thyself herein shalt also live, 
Such grace the heavens do to my verses give. 

c. Spenser — The Rubies of Time. 

Line 253. 

Ah Christ, that it were possible 

For one short hour to see 

The souls we loved, that they might tell us 

What and where they be. 

d. Tennyson— Maud. Pt. XXVI. 

The rainbow comes and goes, 
And lovely is the rose; 
The moon doth with delight 
Look round her when the heavens are 
bare; 

Waters on a starry night 
Are beautiful and fair; 
The sunshine is a glorious birth; 
But yet I know, where'er I go, 
That there hath pass'd away a glory from the 
earth. 
,e. Wordsworth — Intimations of 

Immortality. St. 2. 

Tis immortality, 'tis that alone, 
Amid life's pains, abasements, emptiness, 
The soul can comfort, elevate, and fill. 
That only, and that empty, this performs.

no good comes of' those that have it so often 
in their mouth.

Abhor, condemn, abjure the mortal made 

Of such quicksilver clay that in his breast 
No permanent foundation can be laid. 
m. Byron — Don Juan. Canto H. Sc. 209. 

More bitter far than all

Hush! for the ages call, 
" The Love of God lives through eternity, 
And conquers all!" 
n. Adelaide A. Procter — Triumph of

As one nail by strength drives out another, 
So the remembrance of my former love 
Is by a newer object quite forgotten, 
o. Two Gentlemen of Verona. Act IL 

Sc. 4. 
Love is not love 
Which alters when it alteration finds, 

Or bends with the remover to remove; 
0, no! it is an ever-fixed mark, 
That looks on tempests and is never 
shaken; 
It is the star to every wandering bark, 
Whose worth's unknown, although his 

height be taken. 
p. Sonnet CXVI. 

O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant 

moon, 
That monthly changes in her circled orb, 
Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.

They are not constant ; but are changing

INDEXES. 

I certainly think that the best book in the 
world would owe the most to a good Index, 
and the worst book, if it had but a single 
good thought in it, might be kept alive by it. 

A. Horace Binney — To S. Austin 

Allibone. 

An Index is a necessary implement. * * 
Without this, a large author is but a laby- 
rinth without a clue to direct the readers 
within. 

i. Fuller — Worthies of England. 

How Index learning turns no student pale, 
Yet holds the eel of science by the tail. 
j. Pope — The Dunciad. Bk. I. 

Line 279. 

Those authors, whose subjects require 
them to be voluminous, will do well; if they 
would be remembered as long as possible, 
not to omit a duty which authors in general, 
but especially modern authors neglect — that 
of appending to their works a good Index.

Glory of Literature. 



INDIFFERENCE. 

I care for nobody, no, not I, 
If no one cares for me.

m. Pope — Epitaph. 

Away, you trifler!— Love? — I love thee not, 
I care not for thee, Kate: this is no world 
To play with mammets and to tilt with lips: 
We must have bloody noses, and crack'd 

crowns, 
And pass them current too. Gods me, my 

horse! 
n. Henry IV. Pt. I. Act II. Sc. 3. 

Set honour in one eye, and death i' the other, 
And I will look on both indifferently.

Canto III. Line 361. 

No act of a man, no Thing (how much less

done is like a vein of water flowing hidden

may I join the choir invisible 

Of those immortal dead who live again 

In minds made better by their presence; live 

In pulses stirred to generosity, 

In deeds of daring rectitude, in scorn 

For miserable aims that end with self, 

In thoughts sublime that pierce the night 

like stars, 
And with their mild persistence urge man's 

search 
To vaster issues. 

a. George Eliot — May I Join the

I am not aware that payment or even

b . Chas. Kingsley — Health and Education. 

George Buchanan. 

No action, whether foul or fair, 

Is ever done, but it leaves somewhere 

A record, written by fingers ghostly, 

As a blessing or a curse, and mostly 

In the greater weakness or greater strength 

Of the acts which follow it.

Legend. Pt. II. 
So when a great man dies, 

For years beyond our ken, 
The light he leaves behind him lies

I want to help you to grow as beautiful as 
God meant you to be when he thought of you

e. Geoege MacDonald — The Marquis of 

Lossie. Ch. XXII. 

You've got to save your own soul first, and 
then the souls of your neighbors, if they will 
let you; and for that reason you must culti- 
vate not a spirit of criticism, but the talents 
that attract people to the hearing of the Word.

Blow, blow, thou winter wind, 
Thou art not so unkind 

As man's ingratitude; 
Thy tooth is not so keen, 
Because thou art not seen, 

Although thy breath be rude. 

Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky, 
That dost not bite so nigh 

As benefits forgot: 
Though thou the waters warp, 
Thy sting is not so sharp 

As friend remember' d not. 

q. As You Like It. Act EL Sc. 7. Song. 

Comfort, dear mother; God is much dis- 
pleas'd 
That you take with unthankfulness his doing: 
In common worldly things 'tis called un- 
grateful, 
With dull unwillingness to repay a debt, 
Which with a bounteous hand was kindly lent ; 
Much more to be thus opposite with Heaven; 
For it requires the royal debt it lent you. 
r. Richard III. Act II. Sc. 2.

Alack, what mischiefs might he set abroach, 
In shadow of such greatness! 

c. Henry IV. Pt. II. Act TV. Sc. 2. 

This was the most unkindest cut of all; 
For when the noble Caesar saw him stab, 
Ingratitude, more strong than traitor's arms, 
Quite vanquish'd him: then burst h is mighty-

The field, the woodland, and the garden o'er, 
To gather in his fragrant winter store, 
Humming in calm content his winter song, 
Seeks not alone the rose's glowing breast, 
The lily's dainty cup, the violets lips, 
But from all rank and noxious weeds he sips 
The single drop of sweetness closely pressed 
Within the poison chalice.

Would we but yield them to thy bitter need.

Others, like merchants, venture trade abroad; 
Others, like soldiers, armed in their stings, 
Make boot upon the summer's velvet buds; 
Which pillage they with merry march bring

Who, busied in his majesties, surveys 
The singing masons building roofs of gold;

Their heavy burthens at his narrow gate; 
The sad-ey'd justice, with his surly hum, 
Delivering o'er to executors pale

I am unfortunate in the infirmity, and dare

So full of valour that they smote the air

Drunkenness is an immoderate affection

JEALOUSY. 

Of all the passions, jealousy is that which 
exacts the hardest service, and pays the bit- 
terest wages. Its service is — to watch the 
success of our enemy; its wages — to be sure 
of it. 

e. C. C. Colton — Lacon. 

Anger and jealousy can no more bear to 
lose sight of their objects than love. 
/. George Eliot — The Mill on the Ross. 
Bk. I. Ch. X. 

Jealousy is never satisfied with anything 
short of an omniscience that would detect 
the subtlest fold of the heart. 

g. George Eliot — The Mill on the Floss. 
Bk. VI. Ch. XI. 

Oh jealousie! thou art nurst in hell: 
Depart from hence, and therein dwell. 
h. Folio collection, entitled " The 

Theatre of God's Judgments, " by Dr. 

Beard and Dr. Taylor. 1642. 

Pt. II. P. 89. 

Then grew a wrinkle on fair Venus' brow, 
The amber sweet of love is turn'd to gall! 
Gloomy was Heaven; bright Phoebus did 

avow 
He would be coy, and would not love at all; 
Swearing no greater mischief could be 

wrought, 
Than love united to a jealous thought. 
i. Robert Greene — Jealousy. 

Jealousy is said to be the offspring of Love. 
Yet, unless the parent makes haste to strangle 
the child, the child will not rest till it has 
poisoned the parent. 

j. J. C. and A. W. Hare — Guesses at 

Truth. 

Andronicus, would thou wert shipp'd to hell, 
Rather than rob me of the people's hearts. 
k. Titus Andronicus. Act I. Sc. 2. 

If I shall be condemn'd 
Upon surmises; all proofs sleeping else, 
But what your jealousies awake; I tell you, 
'Tis rigour, and not law. 

Winter's Tale. Act III. Sc. 2. 



I perchance, am vicious in my guesa^ 
As, I confess, it is my nature's plague 
To spy into abuses; and, oft, my jealousy 
Shapes faults that are not. 

m. Othello. Act III. Sc. 3. 

Jealous souls will not be answer'd so; 
They are not ever jealous for the cause, 
But jealous for they're jealous. 
n. Othello. Act lit Sc. 4. 

O, beware, my lord of jealousy; 

It is the green-eyed monster, whicl? rf.oth

Who, certain of his fate,' loves not his 

wronger; 
But, O, what damned minutes tells he o'er, 
Who dotes, yet doubts ; suspects, yet strongly 

loves! 
o. Othello. Act III. Sc. 3. 

So full of artless jealousy is guilt, 
It spills itself in fearing to be spilt! 
p. Hamlet. Act IV. Sc. 5. 

Trifles, light as air 
Are to the jealous confirmations strong 
As proofs of holy writ. 
q. Othello. Act m. Sc. 3. 

Entire affection hateth nicer hands. 
r. Spenser — Faerie Queen. Bk. I. 

Canto VIII. St. 40. 

But through the heart 
Should jealousy its venom once diffuse, 
'Tis then delightful misery no more, 
But agony unmixed, incessant gall, 
Corroding every thought, and blasting all 
Love's paradise, 
s. Thomson — The Seasons. Spring. 

Line 1072. 

JESTING. 

As for jest, there be certain things which 
ought to be privileged from it; namely, re-

An Infant when it gazes on a light, 
A child the moment when it drains the

A devotee when soars the Host in sight, 

An Arab with a stranger for a guest, 
A sailor when the prize has struck in fight, 

A miser filling his most hoarded chest, 
Feel rapture; but not such true joy are reap-

As they who watch o'er what they love 

while sleeping. 
n. Byron — Don Juan. Canto II.

There's not a joy the world can give 
Like that it takes away, 
o. Byron — Stanzas for Music.

r. Montaigne —Essays. Bk. II.

Bliss in possession will not last; 
Kemember'd joys are never past; 
At once the fountain, stream, and sea, 
They were, — they are, — they yet shall be. 
s. Montgomery — The Little Cloud. 

Joys too exquisite to last, 
And yet more exquisite when past. 
t. Montgomery — The Little Cloud. 

How fading are the joys we dote upon! 
Like apparitions seen and gone; 
But those which sooneth take their flight 
Are the most exquisite and strong; 
Like angel's visits short and bright, 
Mortality's too weak to bear them long. 
u. John Norris — The Parting. 

If those who have died of joy had but been 
softened by thankfully gazing aloft, they 
would either not have died at all, or at least 
would have died of a sweet rapture.

Between two blades, which bears the better

Between two horses, which doth bear him

Between two girls, which hath the merriest 
eye, 

I have, perhaps, some shallow spirit of judg- 
ment: 

But in these nice sharp quillets of the law, 

Good faith, I am no wiser than a daw.

Heaven is above all yet; there sits a Judge, 
That no King can corrupt. 
g. Henry VIII. Act HI. Sc. 1. 

He who the sword of heaven will bear 
Should be as holy as severe; 
Pattern in himself, to know, 
Grace to stand, and virtue go; 
More nor less to others paying, 
Than by self offenses weighing. 
Shame to him, whose cruel striking 
Kills for faults of his own liking! 
h. Measure for Measure. Act HI. Sc. 2. 

To offend and judge, are distinct offices, 
And of opposed natures.

What is my offence ? 
Where is the evidence that doth accuse me? 
AVhat lawful quest have given their verdict 

up

You are a worthy judge; 
You know the law ; your exposition 
Hath been most sound.

Four things belong to a judge: to hear 
courteously, to answer wisely, to consider 
soberly, and to decide impartially.

a. Richard III. Act IV. Sc. 3.

KNOWLEDGE. 

1 would rather excel others in knowledge 
than in power. 
r. Addibon — The Guardian. No. 3. 

Knowledge is, indeed, that which, next to 
virtue, truly and essentially raises one man 
above another. 

s. Addison — The Guardain. No. 3. 

Surely at last, far off, sometimes, somewhere, 
The veil would lift for his deep-searching 

eyes, 
The road would open for hi3 painful feet, 
That should be won for which he lost the 

world, 
And Death might find him conqueror of 
deaht.

KNOWLEDGE. 



KNOWLEDGE. 



Know ye the land where the cypress and 

myrtle 
Are emblems of deeds that are done in their 

clime; 
Where the rage of the vulture, the love of 

the turtle, 
Now melt into sorrow, now madden to crime. 

a. Bveon — Bride of Abydos. Canto I. 

St. 1. 

Love is ever the beginning of Knowledge, as 
fire is of light. 

b. Cablyle — Essay. Death of Goethe. 

What is all Knowledge too but recorded 
Experience, and a product of History; of 
which, therefore, Keasoning and Belief, no 
less than Action and Passion," are essential 
materials? 

c. Caelyle — Essay. On History. 

When you know a thing, to hold that you 
know it; and when you do not know a thing, 
to allow that you do not know it; this is 
knowledge. 

d. Confucitts — Analects. Bk. I. Ch. IV. 

Knowledge and Wisdom, far from being one, 
Have oft-times no connexion. Knowledge 

dwells 
In heads replete with thoughts of other men; 
Wisdom in minds attentive to their own. 

e. Cowpee— The Task. Bk. VI. 

Line 88. 

Knowledge is proud that he has learn'd so 

much; 
Wisdom is humble that he knows no more. 
/. Cowpee— The Task. Bk. VI. 

Line 96. 

Knowledge comes 
Of learning well retain'd, unfruitful else. 
g. Dante— Vision of Paradise. 

Canto V. Line 41. 

Since knowledge is but sorrow's spy, 
It is not safe to know. 

h. Davenant — The Just Italian. Act V. 

Sc. 1. 

. To adorn ideas with elegance is an act of 
the mind superior to that of receiving them ; 
but to receive them with a happy discrimina- 
tion is the effect of a practiced taste. 

i. Isaac Diseaeli — Literary Character of 
Men of Genius. On Heading. 

Knowledge is the antidote to fear, — 
Knowledge, Use and Reason, with its higher 
aids. 
j. Emeeson — Society and Solitude.

Knowledge is the knowing that we cannot 
know. 

k. Emeeson — Montaigne. 

Our knowledge is the amassed thought and 
experience of innumerable minds. 

I. Emeeson — Letters and Social Aims. 

Quotation and Originality. 



There is no knowledge that is not power. 

in. Emeeson — Society and Solitude. 

Old Age. 

Our knowledge doth but show us our ignor- 
ance. Our most studious scrutiny is but a 
discovery of what we cannot know. 

n. Owen Feltham — Curiosity in 

Knowledge. 

Knowledge may be defined the perception 
of truth, or, in the language of Aristotle, the 
science of truth: and, consequently, he who 
acquires knowledge, perceives or acquires 
truth. 

o. Good — The Book of Nature. 

Series HI. Lecture IV. 

The first step to self-knowledge is self-dis- 
trust. Nor can we attain to any kind of 
knowledge, except by a like process. 
p. J. C. and A. W. Haee — Guesses at 

Truth. 
A desire of knowledge is the natural feel- 
ing of mankind; and every human being 
whose mind is not debauched, will be willing 
to give all that he has to get knowledge. 
q. Sam'l Johnson — Boswell's Life of 

Johnson. Conversation on 
Saturday, July 30. 1763. 

Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a 
subject ourselves, or we know where we can 
find information upon it. 

r. Sam'l Johnson — Boswell's Life of 

Johnson. An. 1776. 

That fellow seems to me to possess but one 
idea, and that is a wrong one. 

s. Sam'l Johnson — Boswell's Life of 

Johnson. An. 1770. 

An humble knowledge of thyself is a surer

knowledge. 

u. Langfoed — The Praise of Books. 

Preliminary Essay. 

The improvement of the understanding is 
for two ends: first, for our own increase of 
knowledge; secondly, to enable us to deliver 
and make out that knowledge to others. 

v. Locke — Some Thoughts, Concerning 

Beading and Study. 

He that seeketh the depth of knowledge: 
is as it were in a Laborinth, in the which ye 
farther he goeth, the farther he is from the 
end. 

10. Lyly — Euphues. The Anatomy of 

Wit. Of the Education of Youth. 

It is only knowledge, which worne with 
yeares waxeth young, and when all things are 
cut away with the Cicle [sickle] of Time, 
knowledge fkmrisheth so high that Time can- 
not reach it.

bad and avoids it, is learned and temperate.

LANDSCAPE. 



LAUGHTER. 



The swain in barren deserts with surprise 
See lilies spring and sudden verdure rise; 
And starts, amidst the thirsty wilds to hear 
New falls of water murm'ring in his ear, 
On rifted rocks, the dragon's late abodes, 
The green reed trembles, and the bulrush 

nods. 
Waste sandy valleys, once perplex'd with 

thorn, 
The spiry fir and shapely box adorn; 
To leafless shrubs the fiow'ring palms suc- 
ceed, 
And od'rous myrtle to the noisome weed. 

a. Pope — Messiah. Line 67. 

My banks they are furnish' d with bees, 
Whose murmur invites one to sleep ; 

My grottos are shaded with trees, 
And my hills are white over with sheep.

A Pastoral Ballad. Pt. n. Hope. 

Here are cool mosses deep,

And from the craggy ledge the poppy hangs 

in sleep. 

c. Tennyson — The Lotos-Eaters.

We must laugh before we are happy, for 
fear we die before we laugh at all. 
s. De La Bbuyebe — The Characters or 

Manners of the Present Age. 
Ch. IV. 

How much lies in Laughter : the cipher 
key, wherewith we decipher the whole man. 
t. Cablyle — Sartor Resartus. Bk. I. 

Ch. IV. 

Laugh not too much; the wittie man laughs 

least. 
For wit is newes only to ignorance. 
Lesse at thine own things laugh; lest in tha 

jest 
Thy person share, and the conceit advance. 
u. Hebbebt — The Temple. Church Porch 

St. 39. 

Laugh and be fat, sir, your penance is known 
They that love mirth, let them heartily drink, 
'Tis the only receipt to make sorrow sink.

Laugh at your friends, and, if your Friends 

are sore 
So much the better, you may laugh the more. 
a. Pope — Epilogue to Satire. Dialogue I. 

Line 55. 

To laugh -were want of goodness and of grace; 
And to be grave, exceeds all Pow'r of face. 
6. Pope — Prologue to Satires. Line 35. 



O, I am stabb'd with laughter. 
c. Love's Labour's Lost. Act V. 



Sc. 2. 



O, you shall see him laugh till his face be 
like a wet cloak ill laid up. 

d. Henry IV. Pt. II. Act V. Sc. 1. 

The brain of this foolish-compounded clay, 
man, is not able to invent anything that tends 
to laughter, more than I invent, or is invented 
on me. 

e. Henry IV. Pt. II. Act I. Sc. 2. 



They laugh that win. 
f. Othello. Act IV. 



Sc. 1. 



With his eyes in flood with laughter. 
g. Oymbeline. Act I. Sc. 7. 

Laughter almost ever cometh of things 
most disproportioned to ourselves and nature: 
delight hath a joy in it either permanent or 
present; laughter hath only a scornful tick- 
ling.

Poesy.

LEARNING. 

Learning hath its infancy, when it is but 
beginning, and almost childish; then its 
youth, when it is luxuriant and juvenile; 
then its strength of years, when it is solid 
and reduced; and, lastly, its old age, when 
it waxeth dry and exhaust. 

j. Bacon — Essays Civil and Moral.

Reading maketh a full man, conference a 
ready man, and writing an exact man. 
k. Bacon — Essays. Of Studies. 

And gladly wolde he lerne and gladly teche. 
I. Chaucer — Canterbury Tales. 

Prologue. Line 310. 

I speak of that learning which makes US 
acquainted with the boundless extent of na- 
ture, and the universe, and which, even 
while we remain in this world, discovers to 
us both heaven, earth, and sea. 

m. Ciceeo. 

Learning without thought is labor lost; 
thought without learning is perilous . 

n. Confucius— Analects. Bk. I. Ch. IV. 



There is the love of knowing without the 
love of learning; the beclouding here leads 
to dissipation of mind. 

o. Confucius — Analects. Bk. I. Ch. IV. 

Learning by study must be won 
'Twas ne'er entail'd from son to son. 
p. Gat — The Pack Horse and Carrier. 

Line 41. 

Whence is thy learning ? Hath thy toil 

O'er books consum'd the midnight oil ? 

q. Gay — Shepherd and Philosopher. 

Line 15. 

And still they gazed, and still the wonder 

grew, 
That one small head should carry all he

?•. Goldsmith — The Deserted Village. 

Line 215. 

He might be a very clevei man by nature, 
for all I know, but he laid so many books 
upon his head that his brains could not 
move. 

s. Robert Hall — Gregory's Life of HaXL 

For Learning is the fountain pure 
Out from the which all glory springs : 
Whoso therefore will glory win, 
With learning first must needs begin. 
t. Fbancis Kinwelmarsh— Who Will 

Aspire to Dignity by Learning Musi 
Advanced Be. St. 5. 

The Lord of Learning who upraised man- 

kind 
From being silent brutes to singing men. 
u. Leland — The Music-lesson of 

Confucius. 

Thou art an heyre to fayre lyving, that is 
nothing, if thou be disherited of learning, 
for better were it to thee to inherite righte- 
ousnesse then riches, and far more, seemly 
were it for thee to haue thy Studie full of 
bookes, then thy pursse full of mony. 
v. Lyly — Euphues. The Anatomy of 
Wit. To a Young Gentleman 
Named Aldus. 

A little learning is a dangerous thing; 
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring; 
Their shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, 
And drinking largely sobers us again. 

w. Pope — Essays on Criticism. Line 215. 

Ask of the Learn'd the way? The Learn'd 

are blind; 
This bids to serve, and that to shun man- 
kind; 
Some place the bliss in action, some in ease, 
Those call it Pleasure, and Contentment 
these. 
x. Pope — Essay on Man. Ep. IV. 

Line 19. 

No man is wiser for his learning * * * 
wit and wisdom are born with a man.

LEISURE.

g. Gbay — Ode to Adversity. St. 3. 

Leisure is pain; takes off our chariot wheels; 
How heavily we drag the load of life! 
Blest leisure is our curse ; like that of Cain, 
It makes us wander, wander earth around 
To fly that tyrant, thought. 

h. Young — Night Thoughts. Night II.

LIBERALITY. 

Men might be better if we better deemed 
Of them. The worst way to improve the world

Still gentler sister woman; 
Tho' they may gang a kennin' wrang,

LIBERTY. 

The people never give up their liberties 
but under some delusion. 
p. Burke — Speech at a County Meeting at 

Bucks, 1784. 

What is liberty without wisdom and with- 
out virtue? It is the greatest of all possible 
evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, with- 
out tuition or restraint.

LIBRARIES. 

The richest minds need not large libraries. 
g. Amos Bbonson Alcott — Table Talk. 
Bk. I. Learning-Books. 

Libraries are as the shrine where all the 
relics of the ancient saints, full of true virtue, 
and that without delusion or imposture, are 
preserved and reposed. 

h. Bacon — Libraries. 

That place that does contain 
My books, the best companions, is to me 
A glorious court, where hourly I converse 
With the old sages and philosophers; 
And sometimes, for variety, I confer 
With kings and emperors, and weigh their 

counsels; 
Calling their victories, if unjustly got, 
Unto a strict account, and, in my fancy, 
Deface their ill-placed statues. 
i. Beaumont and Fletcher. The Elder 
Brother. Act I. Sc. 2. 

A library is but the soul's burial-ground. 
It is the land of shadows.

m. Dawson — Address on Opening the

A library may be regarded as the solemn 
chamber in which a man may take counsel 
with all that have been wise and great and 
good and glorious amongst the men that 
have gone before him. 
n. Dawson — Address on Opening the 

Birmingham Free Library. 
Oct. 26th, 1866. 

The great consulting room of a wise man 
is a library. 

o. Dawson — Address on opening the 

Birmingham Free Library. 
Oct. 26th, 1866. 

It is a vanity to persuade the world one 
hath much learning by getting a great li- 
brary. 

p. Fuller — The Holy and Profane States. 

Books. 

From this slender beginning I have grad- 
ually formed a numerous and select library, 
the foundation of my works, and the best 
comfort of my life, both at home and abroad. 

q. Gibbon — Memoirs. 

Every library should try to be complete on 
something, if it were only the history of pin- 
heads. 

r. Holmes— The Poet at the Breakfast 

Table. Ch. VIII. 

I look upon a library as a kind of mental 
chemist's shop, filled with the crystals of all 
forms and hues which have come from the 
union of individual thought with local cir- 
cumstances or universal principles 

s. Holmes— The Professor at the 

Breakfast Table. Ch. I. 

The first thing, naturally, when one enters 
a scholar's study or library, is to look at his 
books . One gets a notion very speedily of 
his tastes and the range of his pursuits by a 
glance round his book-shelves. 

t. Holmes — The Poet at the Breakfast 

Table. Ch. VlIT. 

What a place to be in is an old library. It 
seems as though all the souls of all the writers, 
that have bequeathed their labours to these 
Bodleians, were reposing here, as in some 
dormitory, or middle state. I do not want 
to handle, to profane the leaves, their wind- 
ing-sheets. I could as soon dislodge a 
shade. I seem to inhale learning, walking 
amid their foliage, and the odour of their 
old moth-scented coverings is fragrant as the 
first bloom of those sciential apples which 
grew amid the happy orchard.

LIFE. 



We enter our studies, and enjoy a society 
which we alone can bring together. We 
raise no jealousy by conversing with one in 
preference to another: we give no offence to 
the most illustrous by questioning him as 
long as we will, and leaving him as abruptly. 
Diversity of opinion raises no tumult in our 
presence: each interlocutor stands before us, 
speaks or is silent, and we adjourn or decide 
the business at our leisure. 

a. Landob — Imaginary Conversations. 

Milton and Andrew Marvell. 

No possession can surpass or even equal 
a good library to the lover of books. Here 
are treasured up for his daily use and de- 
lectation riches which increase by being con- 
sumed, and pleasures which never cloy. 

b. Langfobd — The Praise of Books.

Come, and take choice of all my library, 
And so beguile thy sorrow.

LIFE. 

Every man's life is a fairy-tale written by 
God's fingers. 
/. Hans Christian Andersen. 

Life is labour and death is rest. 
g. Abchias — Thracian View of Life and 

Death. 

Life, which all creatures love and strive to 

keep, 
Wonderful, dear, and pleasant unto each, 
Even to the meanest; yea, a boon to all 
Where pity is, for pity makes the world 
Soft to the weak and noble for the strong. 
h. Edwin Arnold — Light of Asia. Bk. V. 

Line 401. 

With aching hands and bleeding feet 
We dig and heap, lay stone on stone ; 

We bear the burden and the heat 
Of the long day, and wish 'twere done. 

Not till the hours of light return 

All we have built do we discern, 
i. Matthew Arnold — Mortality. St. 2. 

A life in which nothing happens. 
j. Auerbach — On the Heights. 

Corruption springs from Light: 'tis the same 

power 
Creates, preserves, destroys; the matter 

which 
It works on, being one ever-changing form ; — 
The living, and the dying and the dead. 
k. Bailey — Festus.- So. Water and

Life's but a means unto an end— that end, 
Beginning, mean, and end of all things-

m. Bailey — Festus. Sc. A Country 

Town. 

We live in deeds not years: in thoughts, 

not breaths ; 
In feelings, not in figures on a dial. 
We should count time by heart-throbs. He 

most lives, 
Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the 
best. 
n. Bailey — Festus. Sc. A Country

God is the author, men are only the play-

o. Balzac. 

Life! I know not what thou art, 
But know that thou and me must part; 
And when, or how, or where we met 
I own to me's a secret yet. 
p. Anna Letitia Babbauld — Life. 

Life! we've been long together, 
Through pleasant and through cloudy 
weather; 
'Tis hard to part when friends are dear; 
Perhaps 'twill cost a sigh, a tear; 
Then steal away, give little warning, 
Choose thine own time, 
Say not " Good night" but in some brighter 
clime 

Bid me " Good-morning." 
q. Anna Letitia Babbauld — Life. 

We sleep, but the loom of life never stops; 
and the pattern which was weaving when 
the sun went down is weaving when it comes 
up to-morrow. 

r. Henby Ward Beecher — Life 

Tlioughts. 

Life, believe, is not a dream, 

So dark as sages say; 
Oft a little morning rain 

Foretells a pleasant day? 

s. Charlotte Bbonte — Life . 

If we begin to die when we live, and long 
life be but a prolongation of death, our lite 
is a sad composition; we live with death, and

Folly and vice are actors. The first cry

The second, he to more perfections growes;

To nurture vice, and act ye deeds of sinn.

Our whole life is like a play. 

a. Ben Jonson — Discoveries Be Vita 

Humana. 

For he who gave this vast machine to roll, 

Breathed Life in them, in us a reasoning 
Soul; 

That kindred feelings might our state im- 
prove, 

And mutual wants conduct to mutual love. 

b. Juvenal — Satire XV. Line 150. 

A sacred burden is this life ye bear, 
Look on it, lift it, bear it solemnly, 
Stand up and walk beneath it steadfastly, 
Fail not for sorrow, falter not for sin, 
But onward, upward, till the goal ye win. 

c. Francis Anne Kemble— Zine.s to the 

Young Gentlemen leaving the Lennox 
Academy, Mass. 

I doubt whether those who through every 
clime 
Have wandered and sought, in peace and 
in strife, 
For gold and for treasures, have ever found 
time 
To study the genuine value of life. 

d. Omar Khayyam — Bodenstedt, Trans. 

Life will be lengthened while growing, for 
Thought is the measure of life. 

e. Leland — The Return of the Gods.

In the wreck of noble lives 
Something immortal still survives.

Tell me not, in mournful numbers, 
"Life is but an empty dream!" 
i. Longfellow — A Psalm of Life. 

This life of ours is a wild asolian harp of 

many a joyous strain, 
But under them all there runs a loud per- 
petual wail, as of souls in pain. 
j. Longfellow— Christus. The Golden 
Legend. Pt. IV. 

Thus at the flaming forge of life 

Our fortunes must be wrought; 
Thus on its sounding anvil shaped 

Each burning deed and thought!

Youth, hope, and love: 
To build a new life on a ruined life, 
To make the future fairer than the past, 
And make the past appear a troubled dream.

Story of Cassander the Hermit and 

Callimachus. 

Life is a mission. Every other definition 
of life is false, and leads all who accept it 
astray. Keligion, science, philosophy, 
though still at variance upon many points, 
all agree in this, that every existence is an 
aim.

Where lurks it ? how works it ? * * * we 
scarcely detect it.

Line 553. 
'Tis not the whole of life to live; 
Nor all of death to die. 
t. Montgomery— The Issues of Life and 

Death. 
Life is a waste of wearisome hours, 

Which seldom the rose of enjoyment 
adorns, 
And the heart that is soonest awake to the 
flowers, 
Is always the first to be touch'd by the 

thorns. 
u. Moore— Oh! Think Not My Spirit.

v. Nagelis's Vblkslied. 

To. me the hours of youth are dear, 

In transient light that flow: 
But age is heavy, cold, and drear, 
As winter's rocks of snow. 
w. Thomas Love Peacock — Youth and 

Age. 
As man, perhaps, the moment of his breath, 
Receives the lurking principle of death; 
The young disease that must subdue at 

length, 
Grows with his growth, and strengthens with 
his strength.

For forms of government let fools contest; 

Whate'er is best administer'd is best; 

For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight; 

His can't be wrong whose life is in the right. 

In faith and hope, the world will disagree, 

But all mankind's concern is charity: 

All must be false, that thwarts this one great

And all of God that bless mankind, or mend.

Learn to live well, or fairly make your will ;

So vanishes our state; so pass our days;

To live is scarce distinguish'd from to die.

I came at morn — 'twas spring, I smiled, 

The fields with green were clad ; 
I walked abroad at noon, — and lo! 

'Twas summer, — I was glad;

And I with sadness wept; 
I laid me down at night, and then 

'Twas winter,— and I slept.

Had I but died an hour before this chance, 
I had liv'd a blessed time; for from this

There's nothing serious in mortality: 
All is but toys; renown, and grace is dead; 
The wine of life is drawn, and the mere lees 
Is left this vault to brag of.

LIFE. 



We have two lives; 
The soul of man is like the rolling world, 
One half in day, the other dipt in night; 
The one has music and the flying cloud, 
The other, silence and the wakeful stars. 

a. Alex. Smith — Norton. Line 76. 

I believe that we cannot live better than in 
seeking to become better, nor more agreeably

bought 
Endless renown." 

c. Spensee — Faerie Queene. Bk. III.

Life to the lees. 
g. Tennyson — Ulysses. Line 6. 

Life is not as idle ore, 

But iron dug from central gloom, 

And heated hot with burning fears, 
And dipt in baths of hissing tears. 

And batter'd with the shocks of doom, 
To shape and use. 
h. Tennyson — InMemoriam. Pt. CXVII. 

Behold, fond man! 

See here thy pictured life; pass some few 

years, 
Thy flowering spring, thy summer's ardent 

strength, 
Thy sober autumn fading into age, 
And pale concluding winter comes at last, 
And shuts the scene.

So much, that in our latter stages, 
When pain grows sharp, and sickness rages, 

The greatest love of life appears. 
k. Hester L. Thrale— Three Warnings.

Bitter to taste.

With good or ill, with false or true ; 
And as the blessed angels turn 

The pages of our years, 
God grant they read the good with smiles 

And blot the ill with tears!" 
p. Whittier — Written in a Lady's Album. 

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting : 
The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star, 
Hath had elsewhere its setting, 
And cometh from afar; 
Not in entire forgetfulness, 
And not in utter nakedness, 
But trailing clouds of glory do we come 

From God who is our home; 
Heaven lies about us in our infancy !

Our birth is nothing but our death begun.

LOVE. 



Men of letters occupy an intermediate 
station between authors and readers. They 
are gifted -with more curiosity of knowledge, 
and more multiplied tastes, and by those 
precious collections, which they are forming 
during their lives, are more completely fur- 
nished with the means than are possessed by 
the multitude who read, and the few who 
write. 

a. Isaac Disraeli — Literary Character 

of Men of Genius. Ch. XXL 

Time, the great destroyer of other men's 
happiness, only enlarges the patrimony of 
literature to its possessor. 

b. Isaac Disraeli — Literary Character

All literature writes the character of the 
wise man. 

c. Emerson — Essay. Of History. 

Our poetry in the eighteenth century was 
prose ; our prose in the seventeenth, poetry. 

d. J. C. and A. W. Hare — Guesses at 

Truth. 

The walk of Prose is a walk of business, 
along a road, with an end to reach, and with- 
out leisure to do more than take a glance at 
the prospect: Poetry's on the other hand is a 
walk of pleasure, among fields and groves, 
where she may often loiter and gaze her fill, 
and even stoop now and then to cull a 
flower. 

e. J. C. and A. W. Hare — Guesses at 

Truth. 

Wherever literature consoles sorrow, or as- 
suages pain, — wherever it brings gladness to 
eyes which fail with wakefulness and tears, 
and ache for the dark house and the long 
sleep, — there is exhibited, in its noblest 
form, the immortal influence of Athens. 

/. Macaulay — Essay on Mitford's 

History of Greece. 

There, is first, the literature of knowledge; 
and, secondly, the literature of power. The 
function of the first is, to teach: the func- 
tion of the second is, to move; the first 
is a rudder, the second an oar or a sail. The 
first speaks to the mere discursive under-

pleasure and sympathy. 

g. Thomas De Qutncey — Essays on the 
Poets. Alexander Pope. 

We cultivate literature on a little oat meal. 
h. Sydney Smith — Lady Holland's 

Memoir. 

Literature is that part of thought that is 
wrought out in the name of the beautiful. 
A poem, like that of Homer, or an essay upon 
Milton or Dante or Caesar from a Macaulay, 
a Taine, or a Froude, is created in the name 
of beauty, and is afragment in literature, just 
as a Corinthian capital is a fragment in art. 



When truth, in its outward flow, joins beau- 
ty, the two rivers make a new flood called 
" letters." It is an Amazon of broad bosom, 
resembling the sea.

Greatest of Fine Arts." 



LOSS. 

What 's saved affords 
No indication of what 's lost. 
/. Owen Meredith— The Scroll. 

When wealth is lost, nothing is lost: 
When health is lost, something is lost; 
When character is lost, all is lost ! 
k. Motto Over the Walls of a School in 

Germany. 

Wise men ne'er sit and wail their loss, 
But cheerly seek how to redress their harms. 
I. Henry VI. Pt. in. Act V. Sc. 4 

He came like a dream in the dawn of life, 

He fled like a shadow before its noon, 
He is gone and my peace is turned to strife, 
And I wander and wane like the weary 

moon.

Hast thou more of pain or pleasure!

Endless torments dwell about thee: 
Yet who would live, and live without thee! 
o. Addison— Rosamond. Act HI. Sc. 2. 

She raves, and faints, and dies, 'tis true; 
But raves, and faints, and dies for you.

When love once pleads admission to our 

hearts, 
(In spite of all t".e virtue we can boast), 
The woman that deliberates is lost. 
q. Addison— Cato. Act IT. Sc. 1. 

When love's well-timed, 'tis not a fault to 

love, 
The strong, the brave, the virtuous, and the 

wise, 
Sink in the soft -aptivity together. 
r. Addlson— Cato. ActDZ. Sc. 1. 

Ask not of me, love, what is love? 
Ask what is good of od above — 
Ask of the great sun what is light — 
Ask what is darkness of the night — 
Ask sin of what may be f rgiven — 
Ask wnat i happiness of Heaven — 
Ask what is folly of the crowd —

Ask what is sweetness of thy kiss — 
Ask of thyself what beauty is .

I would not be a rose upon the wall 
A queen might stop at, near the palace door,

Wrought interposition worthy sweet,— as skies

Man's love is of man's life a thing apart, 
'Tis woman's whole existence: man may 
range 
The court, camp, church, the vessel, and the 
mart; 
Sword, gown, gain, glory, offer in exchange 
Pride, fame, ambition, to fill up his heart, 
And few there are whom these cannot 
estrange ; 
Men have all these resources, we but one, 
To love again, and be again undone.

Oh Love! ■what is it in this world of ours 
Which makes it fatal to he loved? Ah! 
■why 
With cypress branches hast thou wreathed 
thy bowers, 
And made thy best interpreter a sigh ? 
As those who dote on odours pluck the 
flowers, 
And place them on their breast — but place 
to die; 
Thus the frail beings we would fondly 

cherish 
Are laid within our bosoms but to perish. 

a. Byron — Don Juan. Canto III. St. 2. 

Oh Love! young Love! bound in thy rosy 

band, 
Let sage and cynic prattle as he will, 
These hours, and only these, redeem life's 

years of ill. 

b. Byron — Childe Harold. Canto II. 

St. 81.

With one fair spirit for my minister, 
That I might all forget the human race, 
And, hating no one, love but only her! 

c. Byron — Cliilde Harold. Canto IV.

She knew she was by him beloved — she 

knew, 
For quickly comes such knowledge, that his

Was darken'd with her shadow.

Cupid and my Campaspe play'd, 
At cards for kisses; Cupid paid. 
He stakes his quiver, bow, and arrows; 
His mother's doves and team of sparrows; 
Loses them too: then down he throws 
The coral of his lip — the rose 
Growing on's cheek (but none knows how, ) 
With these the crystal on his brow, 
And then the dimple of his chin; 
All these did my Campaspe win; 
At last he set her both his eyes; 
She won, and cupid blind did rise; * 
O Love, hath she done this to thee ? 
What shall, alas! become of me.

Love indeed is anything, yet indeed is 

nothing.

What thing is love? — for sure love is a

Love is a pretty, pretty, thing; 
Love is a fire, love is a coal, 
Whose flame creeps in at every hole!

Who lost my heart, while I preserv'd my 
sheep. 
h. Pope — Autumn. Line 79. 

I'll fly from Shepherds, flocks, and flow'ry 

plains; 
From shepherds, flocks, and plains I may 

remove, 
Forsake mankind, and all the world but 

love! 
i. Pope — Autumn. Line 86. 

Is it, in heav'n, a crime to love too well ? 
To bear too tender, or too firm a heart, 
To act a Lover's or a Koman's part ? 
Is there no bright reversion in the sky, 
For those who greatly think or bravely die ?

Still the succeeding flame expels the last.

Two souls in sweet accord, 
Each for each caring and each self unheard, 
Bringing life's discords into perfect tune; 
True to true feeling, and to nature living, 
Plighting no faith, nor needing proof nor 

proving, 
Taking for granted, never asking, giving, 
Not doubting, and not fearing "how?" or 

"where?" 
Not caring if less bright or young or fair; 
Sure to be ever loved, and sure of loving.

The pleasure of love is in loving. We are 
happier in the passion we feel than in what 
we inspire. 

a. Rochefoucauld — Maxim 259. 

She was good as she- was fair. 
None — none on earth above her! 
As pure in thought as angels are, 
To know her was to love her. 

b. Rogers — Jacqueline. 

Those that he loved so long and sees no more, 
Loved and still loves, — not dead, but gone 

before, — 
He gathers round him. 

c. Rogers — Human Life. 

"Time is short, life is short." * * * 
"Life is sweet, love is sweet, use to-day 
while you may ; 

Love is sweet, and to-morrow may fail; 
Love is sweet, use it to-day." 

d. Christina G. Rossetti— The. Prince's 

Progress. St. 7. 

A pressing lover seldom wants success, 
Whilst the respectful, like the Greek, sits 

down 
AJid wastes a ten years' siege before one 

town. 

e. Eowe — To the Inconstant. Epilogue. 

Blessed through love are the gods — through 
love 

Their bliss to ourselves is given; 
Heavenlier through love is the heaven above 

And love makes the earth a heaven. 

/. Schiller — The Triumph of Love. 

Love can sun the Realms of Light! 
g. Schiller — The Triumph of Love. 

Love, only Love, can guide the creature 
Up to the Father-fount of Nature ; 
What were the soul did Love forsake her: 
Love guides the Mortal to the Maker. 
h. Schiller— The Triumph of Love. 

No bridge can love to love convey; 
Yet Love has found the way. 
i. Schiller — Hero and Leander. St. 3. 

But he who stems a stream with sand, 
And fetters flame with flaxen band, 
Has yet a harder task to prove — 
By firm resolve to conquer love! 

j. Scott — Lady of the Lake. Canto III. 

St. 28. 
Her blue eyes sought the west afar, 
For lovers love the western star. 

k. Scott — The Lay of the Last Minstrel. 
Canto HI. St. 24. 

In peace, Love tunes the shepherd's reed; 
In war, he mounts the warrior's steed; 
In halls, in gay attire is seen; 
In hamlets, dances on the green. 
Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, 
And men below, and saints above; 
For love is heaven, and heaven is love. 
I. Scott — The Lay of the Last Minstrel. 
Canto III. St. 1, 



Love is loveliest when embalm'd in tears. 
m. Scott — Lady of the Lake. Canto IV. 

St. 1. 

True love's the gift which God has given 

To man alone beneath the heaven. 

******* 

It is the secret sympathy, 

The silver link, the silken tie, 

Which heart to heart, and mind to mind, 

In body and in soul can bind. 

n. Scott — The Lay of the Last Minstrel. 
Canto V. St. 13. 

Where shall the lover rest, 

Whom the fates sever, 
From his true maiden's breast, 

Parted for ever ? 
Where, through groves deep and high, 

Sounds the far billow, 
Where early violets die 

Under the willow. 

o. Scott — Marmion. Canto III. St. 10. 

Ah me! for aught that ever I could read, 
Could ever hear by tale or history, 
The course of true love never did run smooth.

Ah me! how sweet is love itself possess'd,

Let every eye negotiate for itself. 
And trust no agent.

Sc. 1. 

Give me my Borneo: and, when he shall die, 
Take him, and cut him out in little stars,

That all the world will be in love with night, 
And pay no worship to the garish sun.

Contend against thy valour.

I look'd upon her with a soldier's eye,

Love alters not with his brief hours and 

weeks, 
But bears it out even to the edge of doom. 

a. Sonnet CXV1. 

Love is a smoke rais'd with the fume of 

sighs ; 
Being purg'd, a fire sparkling in a lover's 

eyes; 
Being vex'd, a sea nourish'd with lovers' 

tears: 
"What is it else ? a madness most discreet, 
A choking gall, and a preserving sweet. 

b. Romeo and Juliet. Act I. Sc. 1 . 

Love is blind, and lovers cannot see 

The pretty follies that themselves commit. 

c. Merchant of Venice. Act II. Sc. 6. 

Love is merely a madness; and, I tell you, 
deserves as well a dark house and whip, as 
madmen do: and the reason why they are 
not so punished and cured, is, that the 
lunacy is so ordinary, that the whippers are 
in love too. 

d. As You Like It. Act III. Sc. 2. 

Love is your master, for he masters you; 
And he that is so yoked by a fool, 
Methinks should not be chronicled for wise.

Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow . 
i. Romeo and Juliet. Act II. Sc. 6, 

Lovers, 
And men in dangerous bonds, pray not alike. 
j. Cymbeline. Act III. Sc. 2. 

Love's heralds should be thoughts 
Which ten times faster glide tlian the sun's 

beams 
Driving back shadows over low'ring hills; 
Therefore do nimble-pinion' d doves draw 

love; 
And therefore hath the wind-swift Cupid 
wings. 
k. Romeo and Juliet. Act II. Sc. 5. 

Love's not love, 
When it is mingled with regards that stand 
Aloof from the entire point.

My bosom's lord sits lightly in his throne: 
And, all this day, an unaccustom'd spirit 
Lifts me above the ground with cheerful 
thoughts. 
s. Romeo and Juliet. Act V. Sc. 1. 

My bounty is as boundless as the sea, 
My love as deep ; the more I give to thee 
The more I have, for both are infinite.

love.

No sooner met, but they looked; no sooner 
looked, but they loved; no sooner loved, but 
they sighed; no sooner sighed, but they 
asked one another the reason. 

v. As You Like It. Act V. Sc. 2. 

O coz, coz, coz, my pretty little coz, that 
thou didst know how many fathom deep I 
am in love! But it cannot be sounded; my 
affection hath an unknown bottom, like the 
bay of Portugal. 

10. As You Like It. Act IV. Sc. 1.

x. Two Gentlemen of Verona. Act I.

O if (I say) you look upon this verse, 
When I, perhaps, compounded am with clay; 
Do not so much as my poor name rehearse; 
But let your love even with my life decay; 
Lest the wise world should look into your 

moan, 
And mock you with me after I am gone.

LOVE. 



LOYALTY. 



Love lieth deep; Love dwells not in lip- 
depths. 

a. Tennyson — The Lover's Tale. 

Line 466. 

Love passeth not the threshold of cold Hate, 
And Hate is strange beneath the roof of Love. 

b. Tennyson — The Love?-' s Tale. 

Line 778. 

Love reflects the thing beloved. 

c. Tennyson — In Memoriam. Pt. LI. 

Love's arms were wreathed about the neck 

of Hope, 
And Hope kiss'd Love, and Love drew in her 

breath 
In that close kiss and drank her whisper'd 

tales. 
They said that Love would die when Hope 

was gone, 
And Love mourn'd long, and sorrow'd after 

Hope; 
At last she sought out Memory, and they 

trod 
The same old paths where Love had walk'd 

with Hope 
And Memory fed the soul of Love with tears. 

d. Tennyson — The Lover's Tale. 

Line 815. 

Love's too precious to be lost, 
A little grain shall not be spilt. 

e. Tennyson — In Memoriam. Pt. LXTV. 

She is coming my own, my sweet; 

Were it ever so airj 7 a tread, 
My heart would hear her and beat, 

Were it earth in an earthy bed: 
My dust would hear her and beat, 

Had I lain for a century dead; 
Would start and tremble under her feet, 

And blossom in purple and red. 

/. Tennyson— Maud. Pt. XXn. St. ii. 

The nightingale, with long and low pre- 
amble, 

Warbled from yonder knoll of solemn 
larches, 

And in and out the woodbine's flowery 
arches 
The summer midges wove their wanton 
gambol 

And all the white-stemmed pinewood slept 
above — 

When in this valley first I told my love. 

g. Tennyson — Sonnet. 

There has fallen a splendid tear 
From the passion-flower at the gate. 

She is coming, my dov , my dear; 
She is coming, my life, my fat~; 

The red rose cries, "She is near, she is near;" 
And the white rose weeps, "She is late;" 

The larkspur listens, "I hear; I hear;" 
And the lily whispers, "I wait.'' 
h. Tennyson— Maud. Pt. XXII. St. 10. 

Tis better to have loved and lost, 
Than never to have loved at all. 

j. Tennyson — In Memoriam. Pt. XXVII. 



It is best to love wisely, no doubt; but to 
love foolishly is better than not to be able to 
love at all. 

j. Thackeray — Pendennis. Ch. VL 

And let th' aspiring youth beware of love, 
Of the smooth glance beware; for 'tis too 

late 
When on his heart the torrent-softness pours , 
Then wisdom prostrate lies, and fading 

fame 
Dissolves in air away. 
k. Thompson — The Seasons. Spring. 

Line 980. 

For Truth makes holy Love's illusive dreams. 
And their best promise constantly redeems. 
1. Tuckebman — Love Sonnets. 

A narrow compass! and yet there 
Dwelt all that's good, and all that's fair: 
Give me but what this riband bound, 
| Take all the rest the sun goes round. 
7/i. Walleb — On a Girdle. 

Could we forbear dispute, and practise love, 
We should agree, as angels do above. 
n. Waller — Divine Love. Canto HI. 

To love is to believe, to hope, to know; 
'Tis an essay, a taste of heaven below. 
o. Wallee — Divine Love. Canto HI. 

O, rank is good, and gold is fair, 

And high and low mate ill: 
But love has never known a law 

Beyond its own sweet - ill! 

p. Whittler — Amy Wentworth. St. 18. 

Your love in a cottage is hungry, 

Your vine is a nest for flies — 
Your milkmaid shocks the Graces, 

And simplicity talks of pies! 
You lie down to your shady slumber 

And wake with a bug in your ear, 
And your dams 1 that walks in the morning 

Is shod like a moun'aineer. 

q. Willis — Love in a Cottage. 

And you must love him, er to you 
He will seem wvthy of your love, 
r. Wobdswsbth — A Poet's Epitaph. 

St. 2.

In worlds whose course is equable and 
pure; 
No fears to beat away, — no strife to heal.- 
The past unsighed for, and the future 

sure. 
s. Wobdswobth — Laodamia. 

Farewell, Love, and all thy laws forever!

And think it kindness to his majesty.

Good luck knocks at his door;

But while the loitering idler waits 

Good luck beside his fire, 
The bold heart storms at fortune's gates, 

And conquers its desire.

Manhood begins when we have in any way 
made truce with Necessity; begins even when

triumphed over it, and felt that in Necessity 
we are free.

Will not affront me, and no other can. 
v. Cowpee — Conversation. Line 193. 

Good manners are made up of petty sacri- 
fices. 

w. Emerson — Social Aims. 

But I, — that am not shap'd for sportive 

tricks, 
Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass. 
x. Bichard III. Act I. Sc. 1 . 

MARTYRDOM. 

Christians have burned each other, quite 

persuaded 
That all the Apostles would have done as 

they did. 
y. Bybon— Don Juan. Canto I. St. 83. 

Who falls for love of God, shall rise a star, 
z. Ben Jonson — Underwoods. An 

Fpistle to Master John Selden. 

He strove among God's suffering poor » 

One gleam of brotherhood to send; 

The dungeon oped its hungry door 

To give truth one martyr more, 

Then shut, — and here behold the end*.

MARTYRDOM. 



MATRIMONY. 



Martyrs! who left for our reaping 

Truths you had sown in your blood — 
Sinners! whom long years of weeping 

Chasten'd from evil to good-- 

****** 

Say, through what region enchanted 
Walk ye, in Heaven's sweet air.-' 

Say, to what spirits 'tis granted 
Bright souls, to dwell with you there? 

a. Mooee — Where is Your Dwelling, Ye 

Sainted ? 
It is the cause, and not the death, that 
makes the martyr. 

b. Napoleon. 

A pale martyr in his shirt of fire. 

c. Alex. Smith — A Life Drama. St. 2. 

MATRIMONY. 

He that hath a wife and children hath 
given hostages to fortune; for they are im- 
pediments to great enterprises, either of 
virtue or mischief. 

d. Bacon — Essays. Of Marriage and 

Single Life. 
My fond affection thou hast seen, 

Then judge of my regret 
To think more happy thou hadst been 

If we had never met! 
And has that thought been shared by thee? 

Ah, no! that smiling cheek 
Proves more unchanging love, for me 

Than labor d words could speak. 

e. Bayly— To My Wife. 

No jealousy their dawn of love o'ercast, 
Nor blasted were their wedded days with 
strife; 
Each season look'd delightful as it past, 
To the fond husband, and the faithful 

wife. 
/. James Beattee. The Minsirel. Bk. I. 
And from that luckless hour, my tyrant fair, 
Has led and turned me by a single hair. 
g. Bland's Anthology. 

"First God's love " 
" And next," he smiled ; " the love of wedded 

souls, 
Which still presents that mystery's counter- 
part, 
Sweet shadow-rose, upon the water of life. 
Of such a mystic substance, Sharon gave 
A name to! human, vital, fructuous rose, 
Whose calyx holds the multitude of leaves. 
Loves filial, loves fraternal, neighbor-loves, 
And civic, all fair petals, all good scents, 
All reddened, sweetened from one central 
Heart." 
h. E. B. Browning — Aurora Leigh. 

Bk. IX. 
Cursed be the man, the poorest wretch in life, 
The crouching vassal to the tyrant wife, 
Who has no will but by her high permission; 
Who has not sixpence but in her possession; 
Who must to her his dear friend's secret tell ; 
Who dreads a curtain lecture worse than hell. 
Were such the wife had fallen to my part, 
I'd break her spirit, or I'd break her heart. 
i. Burns — The Henpecked Husband. 



There was no great disparity of years, 

Though much in temper; but they never 
clash'd : 
They moved like stars united in their 
spheres, 
Or like the Rhone by Leman's waters 
wash'd, 
Where mingled and yet separate appears 

The river from the lake, all bluely dash'd 
Through the serene and placid glassy deep, 
Which fain would lull its river-child to sleep. 
j. Byeon— Don Juan. Canto XIV. 

St. 87. 

Man and wife, 
Coupled together for the sake of strife. 
k. Churchill — The Rosciad. Line 1005. 

Thus grief still treads upon the heels oi 

pleasure, 
Marry'd in haste, we may repent at leisure. 
1. ' Congreve— The Old Bachelor. Act V. 

Sc. 1. 

Though fools spurn Hymen's gentle powers, 
AVe, who improve his golden hours. 

By sweet experience know, 
That marriage, rightly understood, 
Gives to the tender and the good 

A paradise below. 

m. Cotton — The Fireside. St, 5. 

Misses! the tale that I relate 

This lesson seems to carry, — 
Choose not alone a proper mate, 

But proper time to marry. 

n. Cowper— Pairing Time Anticipated. 

The kindest and the happiest pair 
Will find occasion to forbear; 
And something every day they live 
To pity, and perhaps forgive. 

o. Cowper — 31utual Forbearance. 

Line 39. 
What is there in the vale of life 
Half so delightful as a wife, 
When friendship, love, and peace combine 
To stamp the marriage-bond divine? 
The stream of pure and genuine love 
Derives its current from above; 
And earth a second Eden shows, 
Where'er the healing water flows, 

p. Cowper — Love Abused. 

Wedlock, indeed, hath oft compared been 
To public feasts, where meet a public rout, 
Where they that are without would fain gc 

in, 
And they that are within would fain go out. 
q. Sir John Davtes — Contention. 

The husband's sullen, dogged, shy, 
The wife grows flippant in reply; 
He loves command and due restriction, 
And she as well likes contradiction. 
She never slavishly submits; 
She'll have her way, or have her fits. 
He this way tugs, she t'other draws; 
The man grows jealous, and with cause. 
r. Gay — Oimid. Humeri, and Phtius-

a. Goldsmith — The Double 

Transformation. St. 3. 

He that hath a wife and children, wants not 
business. 

b. Herbert — Jacula Prudentum. 

As unto the bow the cord is, 

So unto the man is woman: 

Though she bends him, she obeys him ; 

Though she draws him, yet she follows; 

Useless each without the other! 

c. Longfellow— Hiawatha. Pt. X. 

Sail forth into the sea of life, 

gentle, loving, trusting wift, 
And safe from all adversity 
Upon the bosom of that sea 
Thy comings and thy goings be! 
For gentleness and love and trust 
Prevail o'er angry wave and gust; 
And in the wreck of noble lives 
Something immortal still survives. 

d. Longfellow — The Building of the 

Ship. 

The sum of all that makes a just man happy 
Consists in the well choosing of his wife : 
And there, well to discharge it, does require 
Equality of years, of birth, of fortune; 
For beauty being poor, and not cried up 
By birth or wealth, can truly mix with 

neither. 
And Wealth, when there's such difference in 

years, 
And fair descent, must make the yoke uneasy. 

e. Massinger — New Way to Pay Old 

Debts. Act IV. Sc. 1. 

God's universal law 
Gave to the man despotic power 
Over his female in due awe, 
Not from that right to part an hour, 
Smile she or lour. 
/. Milton — Samson Agonistes. 

Line 1053. 

Hail, wedded love, mysterious law; true 

source 
Of human offspring. 
g. Milton — Paradise Lost. Bk. IV. 

Line 750. 

To the nuptial bower 

1 led her, blushing like the morn ; all Heaven, 
And happy constellations on that hour 
Shed their selectest influence; the earth 
Gave sign of gratulation, and each hill; 
Joyous the birds; fresh gales and gentle airs 
Whisper' d it to the woods, and from their 

wings 
Flung rose, flung odours from the spicy shrub. 
h. Milton — Paradise Lost. Bk. VIH. 

Line 510. 

What thou art is mine; 
Our state cannot be sever'd; we are one, 
One flesh ; to lose thee were to lose myself. 
i. Milton — Paradise Lost. Bk. IX. 

Line 957.

What thou bidst 
Unargued I obey; so God ordains; 
God is thy law, thou mine ; to know no more 
Is woman's happiest knowledge and her 
praise. 
j. Milton — Paradise Lost. Bk. IV. 

Line 635. 

Drink, my jolly lads, drink with discerning, 
Wedlock's a lane where there is no turning; 
Never was owl more blind than a lover, 
Drink and be merry, lads, half seas over.

The garlands fade, the vows are worn away;

God, the best maker of all marriages, 
Combine your hearts in one. 
r. Henry V. Act V. Sc. 2. 

Happy in this, she is not yet so old 
But she may learn; happier than this, 
She is not bred so dull but she can learn; 
Happiest of all, is, that her gentle spirit 
Commits itself to yours to be directed, 
As from her lord, her governor, her king. 
s. Merchant of Venice. Act IH. Sc. 2. 

He counsels a divorce: a loss of her, 
That, like a jewel, has hung twenty years 
About his neck, yet never lost her lustre; 
Of her,, that loves him with that excellence 
That angels love good men with; even of her 
That when the greatest stroke of fortune falls, 
Will bless the king. 
t. Henry VIII. Act II. Sc. 2. 

He is the half part of a blessed man, 
Left to be finished by such as she; 
And she a fair divided excellence, 
Whose fulness of perfection lies in him.

MATRIMONY. 



MATRIMONY. 



If she deny to wed, I'll crave the day 
When I shall ask the banns, and when be 
married. 

a. Taming of the Shrew. Act II. Sc. 1. 

If you shall marry, 
You give away this hand, and that is mine ; 
You give away Heaven's vows, and those are 

mine; 
You give away myself, which is known mine. 

b. All 's Well That Ends Well. Act V. 

Sc.3. 

I will fasten on this sleeve of thine: 
Thou art an elm, my husband, I, a vine. 

c. Comedy of Errors. Act II. Sc. 2. 

I will marry her, sir, at your request; but 
if there be no great love in the beginning, yet 
Heaven may decrease it upon better acquaint- 
ance. I hope, upon familiarity will grow 
more content; I will marry her, that I am 
freely dissolved, and dissolutely. 

d. Merry Wives of Windsor. Act I. 

Sc. 1. 

I would not marry her, though she were 
endowed with all that Adam had left him be- 
fore he transgressed; she would have made 
Hercules have turned spit: yea and have 
cleft bis club to make the fire too. * * * * 
I would to God some scholar wovdd conjure 
her; for, certainly while she is here, a man 
may live as quiet in hell, as in a sanctuary. 

e. Much Ado About Nothing. Act II. 

Sc. 1. 

Let husbands know, 
Their wives have sense like them: they see, 

and smell, 
And have their palates both for sweet and 

sour, 
As husbands have. 
/. Othello. Act IV. Sc.3. 

Let still the woman take 
An elder than herself; so wears she to him, 
So sways she level in her husband's heart. 
For boy, however we do praise ourselves, 
Our fancies are more giddy and unfirm, 
More longing, wavering, sooner lost and won, 
Than woman's are. 

g. Twelfth Night. Act H. Sc. 4. 

Marriage is a matter of more worth 

Than to be dealt in by attorneyship; 

******* 

For what is wedlock forced but a hell, 

An age of discord and continual strife ? 

Whereas the contrary bringeth bliss, 

And is a pattern of celestial peace. 

Whom should we watch with Henry being a 

king, 
But Margaret, that is daughter to a kino- ? 
h. Henry VI. Pt. I. Act V. Sc. 5. 

Men are April when they woo, December 
when they wed; maids are May when they 
are maids, but the sky changes when they 
lire wives. 

i. As You Like it. Act IV. Sc. 1. 



Men's vows are women's traitors! All good 

seeming, 
By thy revolt, O husband, shall be thought 
Put on for villany ; not born, where 't grows; 
But worn, a bait for ladies. 
j. Cymbeline. Act HI. Sc. 4. 

Most potent, grave, and reverend signiors, 
My very noble and approv'd good masters, 
That I have ta'en away this old man's daugh- 
ter, 
It is most true; true, I have married her; 
The very head and front of my offending 
Hath this extent, no more. 
k. Othello. Act! Sc. 3.

O, monstrous arrogance! thou liest, thou

Thou thimble, 

Thou yard, three-quarters, half-yard, quarter,

Thou flea, thou nit, thou winter cricket thou: 

Brav'd in mine own house with a skein of

Away, thou rag, thou quantity, thou rem-

As thou shalt think on prating whilst thou

The instances that second marriage move, 
Are base respects of thrift, but none of love. 

a. Hamld. Act III. Sc. 2. 

Thy husband commits his body 

To painful labour, both by sea and land; 

****** 

And craves no other tribute at thy hands, 
But love, fair looks, and true obedience, — 
Too little payment for so great a debt. 

b. Taming of the Shrew. Act V, Sc. 2, 

What mockery will it be, 
To want the bridegroom, when the priest at- 
tends 
To speak the ceremonial rites of marriage. 

c. Taming of the Shrew. Act III. Sc. 2. 

All day, like some sweet bird, content to 

sing 
In its small cage, she moveth to and fro — 
And ever and anon will upward spring 
To her sweet lips, fresh from the fount 

below, 
The murmured melody of pleasant thought, 
Unconscious uttered, gentle-toned and low. 
Light household duties, ever more inwrought 
With placid fancies of one trusting heart 
That lives but in her smile, and turns 
Prom life's cold seeming and the busy mart, 
With tenderness, that heavenward ever 

yearns 
To be refreshed where one pure altar burns. 
Shut out from hence the mockery of life ; 
Thus liveth she content, the meek, fond, 

trusting wife. 

d. Elizabeth Oakes Smith — The Wife. 

The reason why so few marriages are 
happy is because young ladies spend their 
time in making nets, not in making cages. 

e. Swift — Thoughts on Various Subjects. 

As the husband is the wife is; thou art mated 

with a clown, 
And the grossness of his nature will have 
weight to drag thee down.

Marriages are made in Heaven. 
g. Tennyson — Ayhner's Field. Line 198. 

Thrice happy is that humble pair, 
Beneath the level of all care! 
Over whose heads those arrows fly 
Of sad distrust and jealousy. 
h. Yv'at.t.f.b — Marriage of the Dwarfs. 

Why do not words, and kiss, and solemn 

pledge, 
And nature that is kind in Woman's breast, 
And reason that in Man is wise and good, 
And fear of Him who is a righteous Judge, 
Why do not these prevail for human life, 
To keen two hearts together that began 
Their spring time with one love.

MEDITATION. 

The art of meditation may be exercised at 
all hours, and in all places; and men of 
genius, in their walks, at table, and amidst 
assemblies, turning the eye of the mind in- 
wards, can form an artificial solitude; retired 
amidst a crowd, calm amidst distraction, 
and wise amidst folly.

Men of Genius. Ch. XL 

Thy thoughts to nobler meditations give, 
And study how to die, not how to live,

Meditation on Death. 

Happy the heart that keeps its twilight hour, 
And, in the depths of heavenly peace re- 
clined, 
Loves to commune with thoughts of tender 

power, — 
Thoughts that ascend, like angels beautiful, 
A shining Jacob's-ladder of the mind! 
m. Paul H. Hayne — Sonnet IX. 

This evening late, by them the chewing 

flocks 
Had ta'en their supper on the savoury herb 
Of knot-grass dew-besprent, and were in fold, 
I sat me down to watch upon a bank 
With ivy canopied, and interwove 
With flaunting honeysuckle, and began 
Bayt in a pleasing fit of melancholy. 
n. Milton — Comus. Line 540. 

He is divinely bent to meditation; 
And in no worldly suits would he be mov'd,

Had borne my breath, away!

Whose lights are fled, whose garlands dead, 

And all but he departed.

Forgotten? No, we never do forget: 

We let the years go: wash them clean with 

tears, 
Leave them to bleach out in the open day, 
Or lock them careful by, like dead friends' 

clothes, 
Till we shall dare unfold them without pain, — 
But we forget not, never can forget.

How my childhood fleeted by, — 

The mirth of its December, 
And the warmth of its July.

From age to age unnumber'd treasures shine! 
Thought and her shadowy brood thy call obey, 
And Place and Time are subject to thy sway! 
q. Rogees — Pleasures of Memory. Pt. H. 

Lulled in the countless chambers of the brain, 
Our thoughts are linked by many a hidden 

chain. 
Awake but one, and lo! what myriads rise! 
Each stamps its image as the other flies! 
r. Rogees — Pleasures of Memory. Pt. I. 

Sweet memory, wafted by thy gentle gale, 
Oft up the stream of Time I turn my sail, 
To view the fairy-haunts of long-lost hours, 
Blest with far greener shades, far fresher 
flowers. 
s. Rogers — Pleasures of Memory. Pt. H. 

I have a room whereinto no one enters 

Save I myself alone :

There my life centres.

The recollection of a dream.

MEMORY. 



MERCY. 



Die two months ago, and not forgotten yet? 
Then there's hope a great man's memory may 
outlive his life half a year. 

a. Hamlet. Act in. Sc. 2. 

How sharp the point of this remembrance is! 

b. Tempest. Act V. Sc. 1. 

1 cannot but remember such things were, 
That were most precious to me. 

c. Macbeth. Act IV. Sc. 3. 

I count myself in nothing else so happy, 
As in a soul rememb'ring my good friends; 
And, as my fortune ripens with thy love, 
It shall be still thy true love's recompense. 

d. Richard 11. Act II. Sc. 2. 

If a man do not erect in this age his own 
tomb ere he dies, he shall live no longer in 
monument, than the bell rings, and the 
widow weeps. * * * An hour in clamour, 
and a quarter in rheum. 

e. Much Ado About Nothing. Act V. 

Sc. 2. 

I remember a mass of things, but nothing 
distinctly; a quarrel, but nothing wherefore. 
/. Othello. Act II. tic. 3. 

I should not see the sandy hour-glass run, 
But I should think of shallows and of fiats: 
And see my wealthy Andrew dock'd in sand, 
Vailing her high-top lower than her ribs, 
To kiss her burial. 
g. Merchant of Venice. Act I. Sc. 1. 

Looking on the lines 
Of my boy's face, my thoughts I did recoil 
Twenty-three years; and saw myself un- 

breech'd, 
In my green velvet coat; my dagger muzzled, 
Lest it should bite its master, and so prove, 
As ornaments oft do, too dangerous. 
h. Winter's Tale. Act I. Sc. 2. 

Memory, the warder of the brain, 
Shall be a fume. 
i. Macbeth. Act I. Sc. 7. 

thou that dost inhabit in my breast, 
Leave not the mansion so long tenantless; 
Lest, growing ruinous, the building fall, 
And leave no memory of what it was. 

j. Two Gentlemen of Verona. Act V. 

Sc. 4. 
Remember thee? 
Yea, from the table of my memory 
I'll wipe away all trivial fond records. 

k. Hamlet. Act I. Sc. 5. 

Thou comest as the memory of a dream, 
Which now is sad because it hath been sweet. 

I. Shelley — Prometheus Unbound. 

Act I. Sc. 1. 
We look before and after, 

And pine for what is not: 
Our sincerest laughter 

With some pain is fraught; 
Our sweetest songs aro those that tell of sad- 
dest thought. 

m. Shelley — To a Skylark. St. IS. 



The Right Honorable gentleman is in- 
debted to his memory for his jests and to his 
imagination for his facts. 

n. Sheridan — Speech in Reply to Mr . 

Dundas. 
The sweet remembrance of the just 
Shall flourish when he sleeps in dust .

St. 6. 
A land of promise, a land of memor' , 
A land of promise flowing with the miik 
And honey of delicious memories! 
p. Tennyson — The Lover's Tale. 

Line 333. 

As the dew to the blossom, the bud to the 

bee, 
As the scent to the rose, are those memories 

to me. 
q. Amelia B. Welby — Pulpit Eloquence. 

The dust is old upon my " sandal-shoon, " 
And still I am a pilgrim ; I have roved 
From wild America to spicy Ind, 
And worshipp'd at innumerable shrines 
Of beauty; and the painter's art, to me, 
And sculpture, speak as with a living tongue, 
And of dead kingdoms I recall the soul, 
Sitting amid their ruins, 
r. Willis— Florence Gray. 

How bright and fair that afternoon returni 
When last we parted! Even now I feel 
Its dewy freshness in my soul. 

s. John Wilson — The City of the Plague 

The vapours linger round the Heights, 
They melt, and soon must vanish; 
One hour is theirs, nor more is mine — 
Sad thought, which I would banish, 
But that I know, where'er I go, 
Thy genuine image, Yarrow! 
Will dwell with me — to heighten joy, 
And cheer my mind in sorrow. 

t. Wobdswokth — Yarrow Visited. 

MERCY. 

O God! how beautiful the thought, 
How merciful the blessed decree, 

That grace can e'er be found, when sought, 
And naught shut out the soul from Thee! 
u. Eliza Cook — Prayer. 

And shut the gates of mercy on mankind: 
v. Gbay — Elegy in a Country Churchyard.

Being all fashioned of the self-same dust, 
Let us be merciful as well as just!

A full assurance given by lookes, 
Continuall comfort in a face

Friend's Passion for His Astrophill. 

Close pent-up guilts, 
Rive your concealing continents, and cry 
These dreadful summoners grace. 

b. King Lear. Act III. Sc. 2. 

How would you be, 
If He, who is the top of Judgment, should 
But judge you as you are ? O think on that; 
And mercy then will breathe within your 

lips, 
Like man new made. 

c. Measure for Measure. Act n. Sc. 2.

Is nothing kin to foul redemption. 

d. Measure for Measure. Act II. Sc. 4.

My soul flies through these wounds to seek 
out thee. 
y. Henry VI. Pt. III. Act I. Sc. 4.

But with a grain a day, I would not buy 
Their mercy at the price of one fair word. 
h. Coriolanus. Act III. Sc. 3. 

Straight in her heart did mercy come. 
i. Sonnet GXLV. 

The quality of mercy is not strain'd ; 
It droppeth, as the gentle rain from heaven 
Upon the place beneath: it is twice bless'd; 
It blesseth him that gives, and him that 

takes ; 
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes 
The throned monarch better than his crown; 
His sceptre shows the force of temporal 

power, 
The attribute to awe and majesty, 
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings. 
But mercy is above this sceptred sway, 
It is enthroned in the heart of kings, 
It is an attribute to God Himself: 
And earthly power doth then show likest 

God's, 
When mercy seasons justice. 
). Merchant of Venice. Act IV. Sc. 1. 

Though justice be thy plea, consider this — 
That in the course of justice, none of us 
Should see salvation; we do pray for mercy; 
And that same prayer doth teach us all to 

render 
The deeds of mercy. 
k. Merchant of Venice. Act IV. Sc. 1. 



Well believe this, 
No ceremony that to great ones 'longs, 
Not the king's crown, nor the deputed 

sword, 
The marshal's truncheon, nor the judge's 

robe, 
Become them with one half so good a grace, 
As mercy does. 
I. Measure for Measure. Act n. Sc. 2. 

Whereto serves mercy, 
But to confront the visage of offence ? 
m. Hamlet. Act ni. Sc. 3. 

Wilt thou draw near the nature of the 

gods? 
Draw near them then in being merciful; 
Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge. 
n. Titus Andronicus. Act I. Sc. 2. 

You must not dare, for shame, to talk of 

mercy ; 
For your own reasons turn into your bosoms, 
As dogs upon their masters, worrying you. 
o. Henry V. Act H. Sc. 2. 

Who will not mercie unto others show, 
How can he mercie ever hope to have ? 
p. Spenseb — Fcerie Queene. Bk. IV. 

Canto I. St: 42. 

Lenity will operate with greater force, in 
some instances than rigor. It is, therefore, 
my first wish, to have my whole conduct dis- 
tinguished by it. 

q. Geo. Washington — Moral Maxims. 

Punishments. 

MERIT. 

Thy father's merit sets thee up to view, 
And shows thee in the fairest point of light, 
To make thy virtues, or thy faults, conspicu- 
ous. 
r. Addison — Cato. Act I. Sc. 2. 

View the whole scene, with critic judgment 

scan. 
And then deny him merit if you can. 
Where he falls short, 'tis nature's fault 

alone ; 
Where he succeeds, the merit's all his own.

On their own merits modest men are dumb.

MERRIMENT. 



MERMAIDS. 

Once I sat upon a promontory, 
And heard a mermaid, on a dolphin's back, 
Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath, 
That the rude sea grew civil at her song; 
And certain stars shot madly from then- 
spheres, 
To hear the sea-maid's music. 

a. Midsummer Night's Dream. Act II. 

Sc. 2. 

0, train me not, sweet mermaid, with thy 

note, 
To drown me in thy sister flood of tears. 

b. Comedy of Errors. Act III. Sc. 2. 

Slowly sail'd the weary mariners and saw, 
Betwixt the green brink and the running 

foam, 
Sweet faces; rounded arms, and bosoms prest 
To little harps of gold: and while they 

mused, 
Whispering to each other half in fear, 
Shrill music reach'd them on the middle sea. 

c. Tennyson — The Sea Fairies. 

Who would be 

A mermaid fair, 

Singing alone, 

Combing her hair 

Under the sea, 

In a golden curl 

With a comb of pearl, 

On a throne? 
I would be a mermaid fair; 
I would sing to myself the whole of the day, 
With a comb of pearl I would comb my hair; 
And still as I comb'd I would sing and say, 
" Who is it loves me ? who loves not me ? " 

d. Tennyson— The Mermaid. 

MERRIMENT. 

The city has May games, feasts, wakes and 
merry meetings, to solace themselves. * *

And love to live in dimple sleek; 
Sport, that wrinkled Care derides, 
Aid Laughter holding both his sides."

And there wreaks evil on mankind, which

Keep a stiff reign, and move but gently on:

MODERATION. 



MONEY. 



Moderation is the silken string running 
through the pearl-chain of all virtues. 

a. Fuller — Miscellaneous Aphorisms. 

Pan. — Be moderate, be moderate. 
Ores. — Why tell you me of moderation ? 
The grief is fine, full, perfect, that I taste, 
And no less in a sense as strong as that 
Which causeth it: How can I moderate it? 

b. Troilus and Cressida. Act IV. Sc. 4. 

There is a limit to enjoyment, though the 
sources of wealth be boundless, 

And the choicest pleasures of life lie within 
the ring of moderation. 

c. Tupper— Of Compensation. Line 15. 

MODESTY. 

Modesty is to merit, what Shades are to 
the Figures in a Picture; it gives it Strength 
and Heightning. 

d. De La Brttyere — Tlie Characters or 

Manners of the Present Age. Ch. II. 

Modesty is that feeling by which honora- 
ble shame acquires a valuable and lasting 
authority. 

e. Cicero — Rhetorical Invention. 

The conscious water saw its God and blushed. 
/. Crashaw's Translation of His Own 

Epigram on the Miracle of Cana. 
St. John's Gospel. Ch. II. 

Thou water turn'st to wine (fair Friend of 

life) 
Thy foe, to cross the sweet arts of thy reign, 
Distils from thence the tears of wrath and 

strife, 
And so turns wine to water back again. 
g. Crashaw — To Our Lord Upon the 

Water Made Wine. 

When Christ, at Cana's feast by power 

divine, 
Inspir'd cold water with the warmth of wine 
See! cried they, while in red'ning tide it 

gush'd, 
The bashful stream hath seen its God and 
blush'd. 
h. Crashaw — Pozmaia et Epigramrnala. 
Trans, by Aaron Hill. 

Thy modesty's a candle to thy merit. 
i. Fielding — Tom Thumb the Great. 

Act I. Sc. 3. 

Do good by stealth, and blush to find it 
fame. 
j. Pope— Epilogue to the Satires. 

Dialogue I. Line 135. 

Can it be, 
That modesty may more betray our sense 
Than woman's lightness? Having waste 

ground enough, 
Shall we desire to raise the sanctuary, 
And pitch our evils there? 
k. Measure for Measure. Act 2. Sc. 2. 



I never in my life 
Did hear a challenge urg'd more modestly, 
Unless a brother should a brother dare 
To gentle exercise and proof of arms. 
1. Henry IV. Pt. I. Act V. Sc. 2. 

Not stepping o'er the bounds of modesty, 
m. Romeo and Juliet. Act IV. Sc. 2.

The charms her downcast modesty con- 
ceal'd. 
n. Thomson — The Seasons. Autumn. 

Line 229. 



MONEY. 

Money was made not to command our will, 
But all our lawful pleasures to fulfil. 
Shame and wo to us if we our wealth obey, 
The horse does with the horseman run 
away. 
o. Cowley — Imitations. Tenth Epistle of 
Horace. Bk. I. Line 75. 

Get to live: 
Then live, and use it, else it is not true 

That thou hast gotten. Surely use alone 

Makes money not a contemptible stone . 

p. Herbert — The Temple. The Church

and realms. 
s. Milton— Paradise Regained. Bk. n„ 

Line 422. 

But, by the Lord, Lads, I am glad you have 
the money. 

t. Henry IV. Pt. I. Act II. Sc. 4. 

Importune him for moneys: be not ceas'd 
With slight denial: nor then silenc'd, when — 
"Commend me to your master" — and the 

cap 
Plays in the right hand thus; — but tell him 
My uses cry me. 

u. Timon of Athens. Act n. Sc. 1. 



Put but money in thy purse, 
thy purse with money .

d. Return from Parnassus. 



JANUARY. 

Janus was invoked at the commencement 
of most actions; even in the worship of the 
other gods the votary began by offering wine 
and incense to Janus. The first month in 
the year was named from him; and under 
the title of Matutinus he was regarded as the 
opener of the day. Hence he had charge of 
the gates of Heaven, and hence, too, all gates, 
Januffi, were called after him, and supposed 
to be under his care. Hence, perhaps, it 
was, that he was represented with a staff and 
key, and that he was named the Opener (Pa- 
tulcius), and the Shutter (Clusius). 

e. M. A. Dwight — Grecian and Roman 
Mythology. Janus. 

Janus am I; oldest of potentates! 
Forward I look and backward, and below 
I count — as god of avenues and gates — 
The years that through my portals come and 

g°- 

I block the roads and drift the fields with 

snow, 
I chase the wild-fowl from the frozen fen; 
My frosts congeal the rivers in their flow, 
My fires light up the hearths and hearts of 
men. 
/. Longfellow — Written for the 

Children's Almanac. 



FEBRUARY. 

Come when the rains 
Have glazed the snow and clothed the trees 

with ice, 
While the slant sun of February pours 
Into the bowers a flood of light. 

Approach! 
The incrusted surface shall upbear thy steps 
And the broad arching portals of the grove 
Welcome thy entering. 

g. Betant — A Winter Piece. Line 60. 



The February sunshine steeps your boughs 
And tints the buds and swells the leaves 
within. 
h. Beyant — Among the Trees. Line 53. 

February makes a bridge, and 
March breaks it. 

i. Heebeet — Jacula Prudentuin. 

MARCH. 

March. Its tree, Juniper. Its stone, Bloocb 
stone. Its motto, "Courage and strength ft, 
times of danger." 

j. Old Haying. 

Ah, passing few are they who speak, 

Wild, stormy month! in praise of thee, 
Yet though thy winds are loud and bleak, 

Thou art a welcome month to me. 
For thou, to northern lands, again 

The glad and glorious sun doth bring, 
And thou hast joined the gentle train 

And wear'st the gentle name of Spring. 

k. Beyant — March. 
The stormy March is come at last, 

With wind, and cloud, and changing 
skies ; 
I hear the rushing of the blast, 

That through the snowy valley flies. 

I. Beyant — March. 
The hazel-blooms, in threads of crimson hue, 

Peep through the swelling buds, foretell- 
ing Spring, 
Ere yet a white-thorn leaf appears in view, 

Or March finds throstles pleased enough 
to sing. 

m. Claee — The Rural Muse. First 

Sight of Spring. 
The snow-flakes fall in showers, 

The time is absent still, 
When all Spring's beauteous flowers, 
When all Spring's beauteous flowers 

Our hearts with joy shall fill.

Ah March! we know thou art 
Kind-hearted, spite of ugly looks and threats, 
And, out of sight, art nursing April's violets! 

a. Helen Hunt — Verses. March. 

Slayer of the winter, art thou here again ? 
O welcome thou that bring'st the summer 
nigh! 
The bitter wind makes not the victory vain, 
Nor will we mock thee for thy faint blue 
sky. 

b. William Morris — March . 

The Summer's in her ark, and this sunny- 
pinioned day 

Is commissioned to remark whether Winter 
holds her sway : 

Go back, thou dove of peace, with the myrtle 
on thy wing ; 

Say that floods and tempests cease, and the 
world is ripe for spring. 

c. Horace Smith — First of March. 

With rushing winds and gloomy skies 
The dark and stubborn winter dies : 
Far-off, unseen, Spring faintly cries, 
Bidding her earliest child arise; 
March! 

d. Bayard Taylor — March. 

All in the wild March morning I heard the 

angels call : 
It was when the moon was setting, and the 

dark was over all ; 
The trees began to whisper, and the wind 

began to roll, 
And in the wild March-morning I heard 

them call my soul. 

e. Tennyson — The May Queen. 

Conclusion. St. 7. 

APRIL. 

There is no glory in star or blossom 
Till looked upon by a loving eye; 

There is no fragrance in April breezes 
Till breathed with joy as they wander by. 
/. Bryant — An Invitation to the Country. 

When April winds 
Grew soft, the maple burst into a flush 
Of scarlet flowers. The tulip tree, high up, 
Opened, in airs of June, her multitude 
Of golden chalices to humming birds 
And silken wing'd insects of the sky. 
g. Bryant — The Fountain. 

Old April wanes, and her last dewy morn 
Her death -bed steeps in tears; to hail the 
May 
New blooming blossoms 'neath the sun are 

born, 
And all poor April's charms are swept away. 
h. Clare — The Village Minstrel and Other 
Poems. The Last of April. 

Every tear is answered by a blossom, 

Every sigh with songs and laughter blent, 

Apple-blooms upon the breezes toss them. 
April knows her own, and is content. 
i. Susan Cooljdge — April. 



Now the noisy winds are still; 
April's coming up the hill! 
All the spring is in her train, 
Led by shining ranks of rain; 

Pit, pat, patter, clatter, 

Sudden sun, and clatter, patter! 
First the blue and then the shower; 
Bursting bud, and smiling flower; 
Brooks set free with tinkling ring; 
Birds too full of song to sing; 
Crisp old leaves astir with pride, 
Where the timid violets hide, — 
All things ready with a will, — 
April's coming up the hill! 

j. Mary Mapes Dodge — Now the Noisy 
Winds are Still 

Within your showers 

I breed no flowers, 
Each field a barren waste appears: 

If you don't weep 

My blossoms sleep, 
They take such pleasure in your tears. 

k. Freneau — May to April. 

Oh, the lovely fickleness of an April day. 
1. W. Hamilton Gibson — Pastoral 

Days. Spring. 

Tell me, eyes, what 'tis ye' re seeking; 

For ye're saying something sweet, 

Fit the ravish'd ear to greet, 
Eloquently, softly speaking. 

m. Goethe — April. 

Golden and snowy and red the flowers, 

Golden, snowy and red in vain; 
Robins call robins through sad showers; 

The white dove's feet are wet with rain. 

** ****** 

For April sobs while these are so glad 
April weeps while these are so gay, — 

Weeps like a tired child who had, 
Playing with flowers, lost its way. 
n. Helen Hunt — Verses. April. 

The children with the streamlets sing, 
When April stops at last her weeping; 

And every happy growing thing 

Laughs like a babe just roused from sleep- 
ing, 
o. Lucy Larcom — The Sister Months. 

I love the season well, 
When forest glades are teeming with bright 

forms, 
Nor dark and many-folded clouds foretell 
The coming-on of storms. 
p. Longfellow — An April Day. 

Sweet April-time— cruel April-time! 
Year after year returning, with a brow 
Of promise, and red lips with longing paled, 
And backward-hidden hands that clutch the 

joys 
Of vanished springs, like flowers. 
q. D. M. Mulock — April. 

When proud-pied April, dress'd in all his 

trim, 
Hath put a spirit of youth in everything.

Moves the verdure to and fro,

At rest within the ground, 
'Twere pleasant, that in flowery June, 
When brooks send up a cheerful tune, 

And groves a joyous sound, 
The sexton's hand my grave to make, 
The rich, green mountain turf should break.

Of gladness and of thanks.

The October day is a dream, bright and

Their small notes twitter in the dreary

That shrill-piped harbinger of early snows;

The russet leaves obstruct the straggling way 
Of oozy brooks, which no deep banks define, 
And the gaunt woods, in ragged scant array, 
Wrap their old limbs with sombre ivy twine.

Red o'er the forest peers the setting sun, 
The line of yellow light dies fast away 
Thatcrown'd the eastern copse: and chill 
and dun 
Falls on the moor the brief November day. 
i. • Keble — The Christian Year. Twenty- 
third Sunday after Trinity. 

The dead leaves their rich mosaics, 

Of olive and gold and brown, 
Had laid on the rain-wet pavements, 

Through all the embowered town. 

j. Samxtel Longfellow — November. 

Now Neptune's month our sky deforms, 

The angry night cloud teems with storms, 

And savage winds, infuriate driven, 

Fly howling in the face of heaven! 

Now, now, my friends, the gathering gloom 

With roseate rays of wine illume: 

And while our wreaths of parsley spread 

Their fadeless foliage round our head, 

Let's hymn th' almighty power of wine, 

And shed libations on his shrine!

■Odes of Anacreon. 

Ode LXVIIL 



All brilliant flowers are pale and dead 

And sadly droop to earth, 
While pansies chill in velvet robes 

Count life but little worth; 
But in these dark November days 

That wander wild and wet, 
Our thoughts are winged to summer hours 

On breath of mignonette. 

1. Eliza O. Petrson — Mignonette. 

The wild November comes at last 

Beneath a veil of rain; 
The night wind blows its folds aside, 

Her face is full of pain. 

The latest of her race, she takes 

The Autumn's vacant throne: 
She has but one short moon to live, 

And she must live alone. 

m. Stoddard — November. 

Wrapped in his sad-colored cloak, the Day, 
like a Puritan, standeth 

Stern in the joyless fields, rebuking the lin- 
gering color, — 

Dying hectic of leaves and the chilly blue of 
the asters, — 

Hearing, perchance, the croke of a crow on 
the desolate tree-top. 
n. Bayard Tayloe — Home Pastorals.

DECEMBER. 

Wild was the day; the wintry sea 

Moaned sadly on New-England's strand, 

When first the thoughtful and the free, 
Our fathers, trod the desert land.

MONTHS -DECEMBER. 



MOON, THE 



Shout now! The months with loud acclaim, 

Take up the cry and send it forth; 
May, breathing, sweet, her Spring perfumes 

November thundering from the North. 
With hands upraised, as with one voice, 

They join their notes in grand accord; 
Hail to December! say they all, 

It gave to Earth our Christ the Lord! 

Then sprang Aurora to her car, 

And showers of light on Earth there fell; 
Each ray seemed bound to human hearts, 

The wondrous tale of love to tell! 
Down from the spheres a peal rang forth; 

Angels and men their incense poured; 
Hail to the month! Hail to the day! 

Which gave all worlds our Christ the Lord! 

a. J. K. Hoyt^ The Meeting of the 

Months. 

In a drear-nighted December, 
Too happy, happy tree, 
Thy branches ne'er remember 
Their green felicity: 

The north cannot undo them 

With a sleety whistle through them; 

Nor frozen thawings glue them 

From budding at the prime. 



In a drear-nighted December, 
Too happy, happy brook, 
Thy bubblings ne'er remember 
Apollo's summer look; 

But with a sweet forgetting, 

They stay their crystal fretting, 

Never, never petting 

About the frozen time. 

b. Keats — Songs. St. 1, 2. 

In December ring 

Every day the chimes; 

Loud the gleemen sing 
In the streets their merry rhymes. 

Let us sing by the fire 

Ever higher 
Sing them till the night expire. 

c. Longfellow — By the Fireside. 

A Christmas Carol 

In cold December fragrant chaplets blow, 
And heavy harvests nod beneath the snow. 

d. Pope— Dunciad. Bk. I. Line 77. 

The sun that brief December day 
Rose cheerless over hills of gray, 
And, darkly circled, gave at noon 
A sadder light than waning moon. 

e. Whittles — Snow-Bound. 



MONUMENTS. 

The tap'ring pyramid, the Egyptian's pride, 
And wonder of the world, whose spiky top 
Has wounded the thick cloud. 
/. Blatr— The Grave. Line 190. 

Gold once out of the earth is no more due 
unto it; what was unreasonably committed 
to the ground, is reasonably resumed from 
it; let monuments and rich fabricks, not 
riches, adorn men's ashes. 

g. Sir Thomas Beowne — Hydriotaphia. 

Ch. HI. 

To extend our memories by monuments, 
whose death we daily pray for, and whose 
duration we cannot hope, without injury to 
our expectations in the advent of the last 
day, were a contradiction to our belief. 

h. Sir Thomas Beowne — Hydriotaphia. 

Ch. V. 

Monuments themselves memorials need. 
i. Ceabbe — The Borough. Letter II. 

Tombs are the clothes of the dead : a grave 
is but a plain suit, and a rich monument is 
one embroidered. 
j. Fuller— The Holy and Profane States. 

Tombs. 

She sat, like patience on a monument, 
Smiling at grief. 
k. Twelfth Night. Act H. Sc. 4. 

This grave shall have a living monument. 
I. Hamlet. Act V. Sc. 1. 



I have executed a monument more lasting 
than brass, and more sublime than the regal 
elevation of pyramids, which neither the 
wasting shower, the unavailing north-wind, 
or an innumerable succession of years, and 
the flight of seasons, shall be able to de- 
molish. 

m. Smart's Horace. Bk. in. Ode XXX

Doth the moon care for the barking of a 
dog? 
n. Bueton — Anatomy of Melancholy. 

Pt. II. Sec. HI. Mem. 7. 

The moon pull'd off her veil of light, 
That hides her face by day from sight, 
(Mysterious veil, of brightness made. 
That's both her lustre and her shade, ) 
And in the lantern of the night, 
With shining horns hung out her light. 



Butlee — Hudibras.

Whilst she, in the vault of heaven, 
Moves with peaceful motion.

MOON, THE 



MOON, THE 



275 



Such a slender moon, going up and up, 
Waxing so fast from night to night, 
And swelling like an orange flower-bud, 

bright, 
Fated, methought, to round as to a golden 

cup, 
And hold to my two lips life's best of wine. 

a. Jean Ingelow — Songs of the Night 

Watches. The First Watch. Pt. II. 

The magic moon is breaking, 
Like a conqueror, from the east 

The waiting world awaking 
To a golden fairy feast. 

b. Eknest Jones — Moonrise. 

Queen and huntress, chaste and fair, 
Now the sun is laid to sleep, 
Seated in thy silver chair 
State in wonted manner keep : 

Hesperus entreats thy light, 

Goddess, excellently bright! 

c. Ben Jonson — To Cynthia. 

Sweet through the green leaves shines the 
moon. 

d. Let, and — The Swan. 

It is the Harvest Moon! On gilded vanes 
And roofs of villages, on woodland crests 
And their aerial neighborhoods of nests 
Deserted, on the curtained window-panes 
Of rooms where children sleep, on country 
lanes 
And harvest-fields, its mystic splendor 
rests. 

e. Longfellow — The Harvest Moon. 

The moon was pallid, but not faint; 
And beautiful as some fair saint, 
Serenely moving on her way 
In hours of trial and dismav. 
As if she heard the voice of God, 
Unharmed with naked feet she trod 
Upon the hot and burning stars, 
As on the glowing coals and bars, 
That were to prove her strength, and try 
Her holiness and her purity. 
/. Longfellow — Occultation of Orion. 

The rising moon has hid the stars; 
Her level rays, like golden bars, 

Lie on the landscape green, 

With shadows brown between. 

g. Longfellow — Endymion. 

See yonder fire! It is the moon 
Slow rising o'er the eastern hill. 
It glimmers on the forest tips, 
And through the dewy foliage drips 
In little rivulets of light, 
And makes the heart in love with night. 
h. Longfellow — Christus The Golden. 
Legend. Pt. VI. 

The first pale star of night! the trembling 

star! 
And all heaven waiting till the sun had drawn 
His long train after! then a new creation 
Will follow their queen-leader from the 
depths. 
t, Geobge Macdonald — Within and 

Without. Pt. IT. Sc. 9. 



The dews of summer night did fall; 

The moon, sweet regent of the sky, 
Silver' d the walls of Cumnor Hall, 

And many an oak that grew thereby. 

j. ' Mickle — Cumnor Mall. 

To behold the wand'ring moon, 
Hiding near her highest noon, 
Like one that had been led astray 
Through the heaven's wide pathless way, 
And oft, as if her head she bowed, 
Stooping through a fleecy cloud. 
k. Milton — 11 Penseroso. Line 67. 

Full in her dreamy light, the moon presides, 
Shrined in a halo, mellowing as she rides; 
And far around, the forest and the stream 
Bathe in the beauty of her emerald beam: 
The lulled winds, too, are sleeping in their 

caves, 
No stormy murmurs roll upon the waves; 
Nature is hush'd. 
I. Eobeet Montgomery. — The Starry 

Heavens. 

Hail, pallid crescent, hail! 
Let me look on thee where thou sitt'st for 

aye 
Like memory — ghastly in the glare of day, 
But in the evening, light.

Hour after hour that passionless bright face 
Climbs up the desolate blue.

Hung like a vapor in the cloudless sky.

Again thou reignest in thy golden hall, 
Rejoicing in thy sway, fair queen of night! 
The ruddy reapers hail thee with delight: 
Theirs is the harvest, theirs the joyous call 
For tasks well ended ere the season's fall. 
q. Boscoe — To the Harvest Moon. 

Good even, fair moon, good even to thee; 
I prithee, dear moon, now show to me 
The form and the features, the speech and 

degree, 
Of the man that true lover of mine shall be. 
r. Scott — Heart of Mid-Lothian. 

Ch. XVLL 

I saw the new moon late yestereen, 
Wi' the auld moon in her arm. 
s. Scott — Minstrelsy of the Scottish 

Border. 

The moon is in her summer glow; 
But hoarse and high the breezes blow, 
And, racking o'er her face, the cloud 
Varies the tincture of her shroud. 
t. Scott — Rokeby. Canto I. St. 1.

MOON, THE 



MORNING. 



How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this 
bank. 

a. Merchant of Venice. Act V. Sc. 2. 

it is the very error of the moon; 

She comes more nearer earth than she was 

wont, 
And makes men mad. 

b. Othello. Act V. Sc. 2. 

The moon of Rome; chaste as the icicle, 
That's curded by the frost from purest snow. 

c. Coriolanus. Act V. Sc. 3. 

The moon, the governess of floods, 
Pale in her anger, washes all the air, 
That rheumatic diseases do abound: 
And, through this distemperature we see 
The seasons alter. 

d. Midsummer Night's Bream. Act II. 

Sc. 2. 

Art thou pale for weariness 
Of climbing heaven, and gazing of the 
earth, 
Wandering companionless 
Among the stars that have a different 
birth,— 
And ever changing, like a joyous eye 
That finds no object worth its constancy? 

e. Shelley — To the Moon. 

The young moon has fed 
Her exhausted horn 

With the sunset's fire. 
/. Shelley — Hellas. 

With how sad steps, O moon, thou climb'st 
the skies! 
How silently and with how wan a face! 
g. Sir Phtltp Sidney — Astrophel and 

Stella. Sonnet XXXI. 

Diana thus, Heaven's chastest queen, 
Struck with Endymion's graceful mien, 
Down from her silver chariot came, 
And to the shepherd own'd her flame. 
h. Swist — To Lord Harley, on his 

Marriage. 

I with borrow'd silver shine; 

What you see is none of mine. 
Eirst I show you but a quarter, 
Like the bow that guards the Tartar, 
Then the half, and then the whole, 
Ever dancing round the pole. 

i. Swift — On the Moon. 

The sacred Queen of Night, 
Who pours a lovely, gentle light, 
Wide o'er the dark, by wanderers blest, 
Conducting them to peace and rest. 
j. Thomson — Ode to Seraphina. 

The crimson Moon, uprising from the sea, 
With large delight, foretells the harvest near. 
k. Loed Thuelow — Select Poems. The 
Harvest Moon. 



How peacefully the broad and golden moon 
Comes up to gaze upon the reaper's toil! 
That they who own the land for many a mile, 
May bless her beams, and they who take the 

boon 
Of scattered ears; Oh! beautiful! how soon 
The dusk is turned to silver without soil, 
Which makes the fair sheaves fairer than at 

noon, 
And guides the gleaner to his slender spoil. 
I. Charles (Tennyson) Tubneb — 

Sonnet. The Harvest Moon. 

MORALITY. 

Morality is the object of government. We 
want a state of things in which crime will 
not pay, a state of things which allows every 
man the largest liberty compatible with the 
liberty of every other man. 

m. Emerson — Fortune of the Republic. 

Morality, when vigorously alive, sees 
farther than intellect, and provides uncon- 
sciously for intellectual difficulties. 

n. Fboxjde — Short Studies on Great 

Subjects. Dims Ccesar. 

The moral system of the universe is like 
a document written in alternate ciphers, 
which change from line to line. 

o. Feotjde — Short Studies on Great 

Subjects. Calvinism. 

Morality without religion is only a kind of 
dead reckoning, — an endeavor to find our 
place on a cloudy sea by measuring the dis- 
tance we have run, but without any observa- 
tion of the heavenly bodies. 

p. Longfellow — Kavanagh. Ch. XTTI. 

The True Grandeur of Humanity is in 
moral elevation, sustained, enlightened, and 
decorated by the intellect of man. 

q. Chas. Sumner — Oration on The True 
Grandeur of Xations. 

MORNING. 

In saffron-colored mantle from the tides 
Of Ocean rose the morning to bring light 
To gods and men. 
r. Bryant's Homer's Iliad. Bk XIX. 

Line 1. 

Now from the smooth deep ocean-stream the 

sun 
Began to climb the heavens, and with new 

rays 
Smote the surrounding fields. 

s. Bryant's Homers Iliad. Bk. \ JLL. 

Line 525. 

The morn is up again, the dewy morn, 
With breath all incense, and with cheek all 

bloom, 
Laughing the clouds away with playful 

scorn, 
And living as if earth contained no tomb, — 
And glowing into day.

When the glad sun, exulting in his might, 
Comes from the dusky-curtained tents of

Shedding his gifts of beauty o'er the earth; 
When sounds of busy life are on the air, 
And man awakes to labour and to care, 
Then hie thee forth : go out amid thy kind, 
Thy daily tasks to do, thy harvest-sheaves to 
bind.

The Morn! she is the source of sighs, 
The very face to make us sad; 
If but to think in other times 
The same calm quiet look she had. 

g. Hood — Ode to Melancholy. 

The blessed morn has come again; 

The early gray 
Taps at the slumberer's window pane, 

And seems to say, — 
Break, break from the enchanter's chain, 

Away, away! 
h. Ralph Hoyt — Snow. A Winter Sketch. 

Hues of the rich unfolding morn, 
That, ere the glorious sun be born, 
By some soft touch invisible

Far off I hear the crowing of the cocks, 
And through the opening door that time un-

I. Longfellow — To-morrow. 



Morn on the mountain, like a summer bird, 
Lifts up her purple wing, and in the vales

Like a golden-shielded army

But now the clouds in airy tumult fly, 
The sun emerging opes an azure sky; 
A fresher green the smelling leaves display, 
And, glitt'ring as they tremble, cheer the day. 
t. Pabnell — Hermit. Line 117. 

O'er the ground white snow, and in the air — 
Silence. The stars, like lamps soon to expire 
Gleam tremblingly; serene and heavenly fair

And Morning, faintly touched with quivering 

fire, 
Leans on the frosty summits of the hills, 
Like a young girl over her hoary sire.

At thirty, man suspects himself a fool, 
Knows it at forty, and reforms his plan ; 
At fifty, chides his infamous delay, 
Pushes his prudent purpose to resolve, 
In all the magnanimity of thought; 
Resolves, and re-resolves, then dies the 

same.

mortal. 
All men think all men mortal but them- 
selves.

Too terrible for the ear: the times have been, 
That, when the brains were out, the man 

would die, 
And there an end: but now, they rise again, 
With twenty mortal murders on their crowns, 
And push us from our stools. This is more 

strange 
Than such a murder is.

So nature deals with us, and takes away

Being too full of sleep to understand 
How far the unknown transcends the what

■Great in the earth, as in th' ethereal frame ; 
Warms in the sun, refreshes in the breeze, 
Glows in the stars, and blossoms in the trees, 
Lives thro' all life, extends thro' all extent, 
Spreads undivided, operates unspent; 
Breathes in our soul, informs our mortal 

part, 
As full, as perfect, i" ;. hair as heart: 
As full, as pertect, iliVile Man that mourns, 
As the rapt Seraph that adores and b^rns:

The crackling embers on the hearth are dead; 
The indoor note of industry is still; 
The latch is fast; upon the window-sill 
The small birds wait not for their daily bread ;

Their nightly odours ; — and the household rill 
Murmurs continuous dulcet sounds that fill 
The -vacant expectation, and the dread 
Of listening night.

The night is calm and cloudless, 
And still as still can be, 
And the stars come forth to listen

They gather, and gather, and gather, 
Until they crowd the sky, 
And listen, in breathless silence, 
To the solemn litany.

Legend. Pt. 5. 

The Night is come, but not too soon; 

And sinking silently,

Drops down behind the sky.

But the cold light of stars ; 
And the first watch of night is given 

To the red planet Mars.

Which Vernal Zephyrs breathe in evening's

Were discord to the speaking quietude 
That wraps this moveless scene, Heaven's

Studded with stars, unutterably bright, 
Through which the moon's unclouded gran-

Seems like a canopy which love has spread 
To curtain her sleeping world.

One universal blot: such the power 
Of light to kindle and create the whole.

Bathed in the rays of the great setting Flame, 
Hesperus with the Host of Heaven came, 
And lo! Creation widened on his view. 
Who could have thought what Darkness lay 

concealed 
Within thy beams, O sun? or who could 

find, 
Whilst fly and leaf and insect stood revealed, 
That to such endless Orbs thou mad'st us

The feats of Vestris, or the naval force, 
Asseveration blustering in your face 
Makes contradiction such a happy case: 
In every tale they tell, or false or true, 
Well known, or such as no man ever knew, 
They fix attention, heedless of your pain, 
With oaths like rivets forced into the brain, 
And e'en when sober truth prevails through- 
out, 
They swear it, till affirmance breeds a doubt. 
i. Cowpee — Conversation. Line 55. 

Sworn on every slight pretence, 
Till perjuries are common as bad pence, 
While thousands, careless of the damning

An oath, an oath, I have an oath in heaven: 
Shall I lay perjury upon my soul?

But if you swear by that that is not, you

Do not swear at all; 
Or, if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self,

twanged off, gives manhood more approba-

It is a great sin, to swear unto a sin ;

d. Cymbeline — Act H. Sc. 1. 

" He shall not die, by God," cried he. 

The Accusing Spirit which flew up to

wrote it down, dropped a tear upon the word 
and blotted it out forever.

It is not in the storm nor in the strife

But in the after-silence on the shore, 

When all is lost except a little life. 

s. Bybon — On Hearing that Lady Byron

Oblivion is the dark page, whereon Mem-

makes them legible ; were it all light, nothing 
could be read there, any more than if it were 
all darkness. 

t. Cabltle — Essays. On History Again. 

Without oblivion, there is no remembrance 
possible. When both oblivion and memory 
are wise, when the general soul of man is 
clear, melodious, true, there may come a 
modern Hiad as memorial of the Past. 

u. Cabltle — Cromwell' s Letters and

Mad wag! who pardon'd none, nor spared

And turn'd some very serious things to jest. 

Nor church nor state escaped his public 
sneers, 

Arms nor the gown, priests, lawyers, volun-

"Alas, poor Yorick!" now forever mute! 

Whoever loves a laugh must sigh for Foote. 

We smile, perforce, when histrionic scenes 
Ape the swoln dialogue of kings and queens, 
When " Chrononhotonthologos must die " 
And Arthur struts in mimic majesty.

I think I love and reverence all arts equal-

Scripture; He colored it, and that was Paint-

that was the grand, divine, eternal Drama.

The carvers we: the prologue is the grace. 
Each act, a course, each scene, a different dish 
Though we're in Lent, I doubt you're still

Satire's the sauce, high-season'd, sharp, and 

rough. 
Kind masks and beaux, I hope you're pep-

Wit is the wine ; but 'tis so scarce the true 
Poets, like vintners, balderdash and brew. 
Your surly scenes, where rant and blood-

Are butcher's meat, a battle 's a sirloin : 
Your scenes of love, so flowing, soft and

Are water-gruel without salt or taste.

But by ten words, my lord, it is too long, 
Which makes it tedious.

and bellowed, that I have thought some of 
nature's journeymen had made men, and not 
made them well, they imitated humanity so 
abominably. 

p. Hamlet. Act HI. Sc. 2. 

Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pro- 
nounced it to you, trippingly on the tongue; 
but if you mouth it, as many of your players 
do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my 
lines. Nor do not saw the air too much with 
your hands thus; but use all gently; for in 
the very torrent, tempest, (and as I may say) 
the whirlwind of passion, you must acquire 
and beget a temperance that may give it 
smoothness,

The play's the thing, 
Wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king. 
r. Hamlet. Act H. Sc. 2.

That he shall weep for her ? What would he

tears. 
s. Hamlet. Act H. Sc. 2. 

The play is done; the curtain drops, 

Slowly falling to the prompter's bell: 
A moment yet the actor stops, 

And looks around, to say farewell. 
It is an irksome word and task; 

And when he's laughed and said his say 5 
He shows as he removes the mask, 

A face that's anything but gay.

AUTHOESHIP. 

The circumstance which gives authors an 
advantage above all these great masters, is 
this, that they can multiply their originals; 
or rather can make copies of their works to 
what number they please, which shall be as 
Taluable as the originals themselves. 

I. Addison — The Spectator. No. 166. 



A book made, renders succession to the, 
author: for as long as the book exists, the 
author remaining adavaroS, immortal, can- 
not perish. 

m. Eichard Aungervyle (Bichard De 

Bury). Philobiblon. 

Write to the mind and heart, and let the 

ear 
Glean after what it can. 
n. Bailey — Festus. Sc. Home. 

Unless a man can link his written thoughts 
with the everlasting wants of men, so that 
they shall draw from them as from wells, 
there is no more immortality to the thoughts 
and feelings of the soul than to the muscles 
and the bones. 

o. Henry Ward Beecher — Star Papers. 
Oxford. Bodleian Library.. 

Art thou a pen, whose task shall be 

To drown in ink 

What writers think ? 

Oh, wisely write, 

That pages white 
Be not the worse for ink and thee. 
p. Ethel Lynn Beers — The Gold Nugget. 

Honor to the men who bring honor to us.

release from vacuity, wings to thought, 
knowledge of things, precision to principles, 
sweetness to feeling, happiness to the fireside

There is probably no hell for authors in

A man of moderate Understanding, thinks

s. De La Bruyere — The Characters or 

Manners of the Present Age. Ch. I. 

A man starts upon a sudden, takes Pen, 
Ink and Paper, and without ever having had 
a thought of it before, resolves within him- 
self he will write a Book; he has no Talent at 
Writing, but he wants fifty Guineas. 

t. De La Bruyere — The Characters or 

Manners of the Present Age. Ch. XV. 

The genius of an Author consists in De- 
signing well, and Pointing well.

'Tis as much a Trade to make a Book, as to 
make a Watch; there's something more than 
WiS requisite to make an Author.

.the public mind. 

a. Burke — Reflections on the Revolution in 

France. 

"But words are things, and a small drop of 
ink, 
Falling, like dew, upon a thought produces 

That which makes thousands, perhaps mil- 
lions think. 

b. Byeon— Don Juan. Canto in. St. 88. 

Dear authors! suit your topics to your 

strength, 
And ponder well your subject, and its length; 
Nor lift your load, before you're quite aware 
What weight your shoulders will, or will not, 

bear. 

c. Byeon — Hints from Horace. 

The authors who affect contempt for a 
name in the world put their names to the 
books which they invite the world to read. 

d. Ciceeo. 

That writer does the most, who gives his 
reader the most knowledge and takes from 
him the least time. 

e. C. C. Colton — Lacon. Preface. 

Habits of close attention, thinking heads, 
Become more rare as dissipation spreads, 
Till authors hear at length one general cry, 
Tickle and entertain us, or we die! 
/. Cowpee — Retirement. Line 707. 

None but an author knows an author's cares, 
Or Fancy's fondness for the child she bears. 
a. Cowpee — The Progress of Error. 

Line 376. 

The jest is clearly to be seen, 
Not in the words — but in the gap between : 
Manner is all in all, whate'er is writ, 
The substitute for genius, sense, and wit. 
h. Cowpee— Table Talk. Line 54=0. 

But then to write at a loose rambling rate, 
In hope that the world will wink at all our 

faults, 
Is such a rash illgrounded confidence 
As men may pardon, but will never praise.

The men who labour and digest things most

For if your author be profoundly good 
'Twill cost you dear before he's understood. 
I. Wentwoeth Dillon (Earl of Roscom- 
mon; — Essay on Translated Verse. 
Line 163. 

Authors stand between the governors and 
the governed, and form the single organ ot 
both. Those who govern a nation cannot at 
the same time enlighten the people, for the 
executive power is not empirical; and the 
governed cannot think, for they have no 
continuity of leisure. 

m. Isaac Diseaeli — Literary Character of 
Men of Genius. Ch. XXV- 

It is style alone by which posterity will 
judge of a great work, for an author can have 
nothing truly his own but his style .

Style. 

No considerable work was ever composed 
till its author, like an ancient magician, first

Of all the sorrows in which the female 
character may participate, there . are few 
more affecting than those of an authoress. 

p. Isaac Diseaeli — Calamities of Authors. 
The Life of an Authoress. 

Readers may be classed into an infinite 
number of divisions ; but an author is a soli- 
tary being, who, for the same reason he 
pleases one, must consequently displease 
another. 

q. Isaac Diseaeli— Literary Character of

a. Gat— The Elephant and the Bookseller. 

Line 74. 
Pride often guides the author's pen; 
Books as affected are as men; 
But he who studies nature's laws, 
From certain truth his maxims draws; 
And those, without our schools, suffice 
To make men moral, good, and wise. 

6. Gay — The Shepherd and the

Every author, in some degree, portrays 
.himself in his works even be it against his

c. Goethe — The Poet's Year. 

The most original modern authors are not 
so because they advance what is new, but 
simply because they know how to put what 
they have to say, as if it had never been said 
before. 

d. Goethe. 

One writer, for instance, excels at a plan, 
or a title-page, another works away at the 
body of the book, and a third is a dab at an 
index. 

e. Goldsmith — The Bee. No. 1. 

Oct. 6, 1759. 

His imperial fancy has laid all nature un- 
der tribute, and has collected riches from 
every scene of the creation and every walk

Whatever an author puts between the two

i. Sam'l Johnson — Boswell's Life of

Each change of many-colored life he drew, 
Exhausted worlds and then imagined new: 
Existence saw him spurn her bounded reign,

There is no teaching until the pupil is

and by no unfriendly chance or bad company 
can he ever quite lose the benefit.

footman with an ambassador.

Cheers the tar's labour or the Turkman's

Which on the Moslem's ottoman divides 
His hours, and rivals opium and his brides; 
Magnificent in Stamboul, but less grand, 
Though not less loved, in "Wapping or the 

Strand ; 
Divine in hookas, glorious in a pipe, 
When tipp'd with amber, mellow, rich, and 

ripe; 
Like other charmers, wooing the caress 
More dazzlingly when daring in full dress; 
Yet thy true lovers more admire by far 
Thv naked beauties — Give me a cigar!

Tobacco is a lawyer, 

His pipes do love long cases, 

When our brains it enters, 

Our feet do make indentures, 
Which we seal with stamping paces. 
Tobacco is a traveller, 

Come from the Indies hither; 

It passed sea and land 

Ere it came to my hand, 
And 'scaped the wind and weather. 
Tobacco's a musician, 

And in a pipe delighteth; 

It descends in a close, 

Through the organ of the nose, 
With a relish that inviteth. 

o. Barten Holiday — Song in Play of

Ods me I marie what pleasure or felicity

the Present.

With hints and prophecies of things to bo,

things, 
And stay with us, and we could hold them 

fast, 
Were our good angels, — these I owe to 

thee. 
/. Longfellow — Sonnet. TheTwo Rivers.

Links of a broken chain, 
Wings that can bear me back to Times 

Which cannot come again:

To forgive wrongs darker than the death of 
night; 

To defy power which seems omnipotent; 
To love and. bear; to hope till hope creates 
From its own wreck the thing it contem- 
plates ; 

Neither to change, to falter, nor repent; 
This, like thy glory, Titen, is to be 
Good, great, and joyous, beautiful and free; 
This is alone life, joy, empire and victory.

And had read ev'ry text and gloss over; 
Whate'er the crabbed'st author hath, 
He understood b' implicit faith. 

h. Butler — Hudibras. Pt. I. Canto I. 

Line 127. 

Before philosophy can teach by Experience, 
the Philosophy has to be in readiness, the 
Experience must be gathered and intelli-

truth; to be a sage, is to avoid the senseless 
and the depraved. The philosopher therexore 
should live only among philosophers. 

p. Voltaire — A Philosophical Dictionary. 
Philosopher. Sec. 6. 

What does Philosophy impart to man 
But undiscover'd wonders ? — Let her soar

She but extends the scope of wild amaze 
And admiration.

Pt. I. St. 24. 

Pity melts the mind to love. 
Softly sweet, in Lydian measures, 
Soon he sooth'd his soul to pleasures. 

War, he sung, is toil and trouble; 

Honour, but an empty bubble.

At length some pity warm'd the master's

('Twas then his threshold first received a

How creaking turns the door with jealous

And half the welcomes in the shivering pair.

Which, of you, if you were a prince's son, 

Being pent from liberty, as I am now, — 

If two such murderers as yourself came to

Would not entreat for life ? 
My friend, I spy some pity in thy looks; 
O, if thine eye be not a flatterer, 
Come thou on my side, and entreat for me, 
As you would beg, were you in my distress. 
A begging prince what beggar pities not ? 
i. Richard 111. Act I. Sc. 4. 

Soft pity never leaves the gentle breast 
Where love has been received a welcome 

guest; 
As wandering saints poor huts have sacred 

made, 
He hallows every heart he once has sway'd, 
And, when his presence we no longer share, 
Still leaves compassion as a relic there. 
j. Shekidan — The Duenna. Act EL

Pity's akin to love; and every thought 
Of that soft kind is welcome to my soul.

PLAGIARISM. 

The plagiarism of orators is the art, or an 
ingenious and easy mode, which some adroit- 
ly employ to change, or disguise, all sorts of 
speeches of their own composition or of that 
of other authors, for their pleasure, or their 
utility; in such a manner that it becomes 
impossible even for the author himself to re- 
cognise his own work, his own genius, and 
his own style, so skilfully shall the whole be 
disguised. 

n. Isaac Disraeli — Curiosities of Litera- 
ture. Professors of Plagiarism and 
Obscurity. 

It has come to be practically a sort of rule 
in literature, that a man, having once shown 
himself capable of original writing, is en- 
titled thenceforth to steal from the writings 
of others at discretion. Thought is the 
property of him who can entertain it; and of 
him who can adequately place it. A certain 
awkwardness marks the use of borrowed 
thoughts; but as soon as we have learned 
what to do with them, they become our 
own. 

o. Emerson — Shakespeare. 

When he speaks, 
The air, ***** j s s tiU ; 
And the mute wonder lurketh in men's ears, 
To steal his sweet and honey'd sentences. 
p. Henry V. Act I. Sc. 1. 

Steal! to be sure they may, and, egad — 
serve your best thoughts as gypsies do stolen 
children, — disfigure them to make 'em pass 
for their own. 

q. Shekidan — The Critic. Act I. Sc. 1. 

All the makers of dictionaries, all com- 
pilers who do nothing else than repeat back- 
wards and forwards the opinions, the errors, 
the impostures, and the truths already 
printed, we may term plagiarists; but honest 
plagiarists, who arrogate not the merit of in- 
vention. 

r. Voltaire — A Philosophical Dictionary . 

Plagiarism. 

Call them if you please bookmakers, not 
authors, range them rather among second- 
hand dealers than plagiarists.

Of being cheated, as to cheat.

PLEASURE. 



POETS. 



There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, 
There is a rapture on the lonely shore, 
There is society where none intrudes, 
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar: 
I love not man the less, but Nature more, 
From these our interviews, in which I steal 
From all I may be, or have been before, 
To mingle with the Universe, and feel 
What I can ne'er express, yet cannot all con- 
ceal. 

a. Bybon — Childe Harold. Canto rv. 

St. 178. 
Pleasure admitted in undue degree 
Enslaves the will, nor leaves the judgment 
free. 

b. Cowpek — Progress of Error. 

Line 267. 

The fall of waters and the song of birds, 
And hills that echo to the distant herds, 
Are luxuries excelling all the glare 
The world can boast and her chief favorites 
share, 
.c. Cowpek — Retirement. Line 83. 

Rich the treasure, 
Sweet the pleasure, 
Sweet the pleasure after pain. 

d. Dkyden — Alexander's Feast. Line 58. 

Ever let the Fancy roam, 
Pleasure never is at home. 

e. Keats — Fancy. ■ 

Let me lean 
On heap'd-up flowers, in regions clear, and 
far. 
/. Keats — Sonnet. On Leaving Some 

Friends at an Early Hour. 

I fly from pleasure because pleasure has 
ceased to please: I am lonely because I am 
miserable. 

g. Sam'l Johnson — Rasselas. Ch. EX 

Pleasure the servant, Virtue looking on. 
h. Ben Jonson — Pleasure Reconciled to 

Virtue. 

There is a pleasure that is born of pain. 
i. Owen Meeedith — The Wanderer. 

Bk. I. Prologue. 

It were a journey like the path to heaven, 
To help you find them. 
j. Milton — Camus. Line 303. 

The joyous Time, when pleasures pour 
Profusely round and, in their shower, 
Hearts open, like the Season's Rose, — 
The Flow'ret of a hundred leaves, 
Expanding while the dew fall flows, 
And every leaf its balm receives. 
k. Moobe — Lalla Rookh. Light of the 

Harem. 

The roses of pleasure seldom last long 
enough to adorn the brow of him who plucks 
them; for they are the only roses which do 
not retain their sweetness after they have 
lost their beauty.

To make a third, she join'd the former two.

Stale falsehoods serve fresh men. 
o. George Eliot — Spanish Gypsy. Bk. I. 

AH men are poets at heart. 
p. Emerson — Literary Ethics. 

One more royal trait properly belongs to 
the poet. I mean his cheerfulness, without 
which no man can be a poet, — for beauty is 
his aim. He loves virtue, not for its obliga- 
tion, but for its grace; he delights in the 
world, in man, in woman, for the lovely light 
that sparkles from them. Beauty, the spirit 
of joy and hilarity, he sheds over the uni- 
verse. 

q. Emerson — Shakespeare. 

Poets should be law-givers; that is, the

Give lettered pomp to teeth of time, 

So Bonny Doon but tarry ; 
Blot out the epic's statelv rhyme, 

But spare his Highland Mary. 

a. Whtttter — Lines on Burns. 

And, when a damp 
Fell round the path of Milton, in his hand 
The Thing became a trumpet; whence he 

blew 
Soul-animating strains, — alas! too few. 

b. Wokdsworth — Miscellaneous Sonnets. 

Scorn not the Sonnet. 

Blessings be with them, and eternal praise, 
Who gave us nobler loves, and nobler 
cares — 
The Poets, who on earth have made us heirs 
Of truth and pure delight by heavenly 
lays! 

c. Wordsworth — Personal Talk. 

He murmurs near the running brooks 
A music sweeter than their own. 

d. Wordsworth — A Poet's Epitaph. 

St. 10. 

I thought of Chatterton, the marvellous boy, 
The sleepless soul that perished in his 
pride; 
Of him who walked in glory and in joy, 
Following his plough along the mountain 

side. 
«. Wordsworth — Resolution and 

Independence. St. 7. 

That mighty orb of song, 
The divine Milton.

Line 252. 

The light that never was on sea or land, 
The consecration and the poet's dream.

Thy soul was like a star, and dwelt apart. 
h. Wordsworth — London, 1802. 



POETRY. 

It (Poesy) was ever thought to have some 
participation of divineness, because it doth 
raise and erect the mind, by submitting the 
shews of things to the desires of the mind. 

i. Bacon — Advancement of Learning. 

Bk. II. 

Poetry is itself a thing of God ; 
He made his prophets poets; and the more 
We feel of poesie do we become 
Like God in love and power, — under-makers. 
j. Ballet. — Festus. Proem. Line 5. 

Florid prose, nor honied lies of rhyme, 
Can blazon evil deeds, or consecrate a crime. 
k. BrBon—ChUde Harold. Canto I. 

St. 3. 



Poetry, above all, we should have known- 
long ago, is one of those mysterious things 
whose origin and d evelopments never can be 
what we call explained; often it seems to us 
like the wind, blowing where it lists, coming 
and departing with little or no regard to any 
the most cunning theory that has yet been 
devised of it.

Literature. 

In the'hexameter rises the fountain's silver}* 

column: 
In the pentameter aye falling in melody back> 
rn. Colerldge — The Ovidian Elegiac Metre. 

Poetry is the blossom and the fragrance of 
all human knowledge, human thoughts, 
human passions, emotion, language. 

n. Coleridge — Biographia Literaria. 

Ch. XV. 

Poetry is older than prose. Of this we 
have what may be called paleontological 
proof in the structure of all languages. Our 
every day speech is fossil poetry. Words 
which are now dead were once alive. The 
farther we recede and the lower we descend, 
the more these wonderful petrifactions of 
old forms of poetic thought and feeling 
abound. 

o. Abraham Coles — The Evangel. 

Introduction. 

Poetry is unfallen speech. Paradise knew 
no other, for no other would suffice to an- 
swer the need of those ecstatic days of inno- 
cence. 

p. Abraham Coles — The Evangel. 

Introduction. 

'Tis very dang'rous tamp'ring with a muse; 
The profit's small, and you have much to 

lose; 

For tho' true wit adorns your birth or place, 

Degen'rate lines degrade th' attained race. 

q. Wentworth Dillon (Earl of Koscom- 

mon) — Miscellanies. Essay on 

Translated Verse. Line 284. 

It does not need that a poem should be 
long. Every word was once a poem. 
r. Emerson — Essay. Of The Poet. 

It is not metres, but a meter-making argu- 
ment that makes a poem. 

s. Emerson — Essay. The Poet. 

Only that is poetry which cleanses and 
man's me. 
t. Emerson — Inspiration. 

Rhyme, being a kind of music, shares this 
advantage with music, that it has a privilege 
of speaking truth which all Philistia is una- 
ble to challenge. Music is the poor man's

Verse sweetens toil, however rude the sound ; 

All at her work the village maiden sings, 
Nor while she turns the giddy wheel around, 

Revolves the sad vicissitudes of things. 

a. Gutoed — Contemplation. 

What is a Sonnet? 'Tis the pearly shell 

That murmurs of the far-off, murmuring sea; 

A precious jewel carved most curiously; 

It is a little picture painted well. 

What is a Sonnet? 'Tis the tear that fell 

From a great poet's hidden ecstacy ; 

A two-edged sword, a star, a song— ah me! 

Sometimes a heavy tolling funeral bell. 

b. Gujdek — The Poet and His Master, 

and Other Poems. 

God to his untaught children sent 

Law, order, knowledge, art, from high, 
And ev'ry heav'nly favour lent, 

The world's hard lot to qualify. 
They knew not how they should behave, 

For all from Heav'n stark-naked came; 
But Poetry their garments gave, 

And then not one had cause for shame. 

c. Goethe — Poetry.

Poetry is the breath of beauty, flowing 
around the spiritual world, as the winds that 
wake up the flowers do about the material. 
g. Leigh Hunt — Men, Women, and 

Books. Of Statesmen Who Have 
Written Verses. 

The essence of poetry is invention; such 
invention as, by producing something unex- 
pected, surprises and delights. 

h. Sam'l Johnson — Life of Waller. 

A drainless shower 
Of light is poesy; 'tis the supreme of power; 
'Tis might half slumbering on its own right

The merit of poetry, in its wildest forms, 
still consists in its truth, — truth conveyed to 
the understanding, not directly by the words, 
but circuitously by means of imaginative 
associations, which serve as its conductors. 

o. Macaulay— Essay. On the Athenian 

Orators. 

Poesy, drawing within its circle all that 
is glorious and inspiring, gave itself but lit- 
tle concern as to where its flowers originally 
grew.

Poetry, like the world, may be said to have 
four ages, but in a different order: the first 
age of poetry being the age of iron; the 
second of gold; the third of sdver; and the 
fourth of brass. 

q. Thomas Love Peacock — The Four 

Ages of Poetry. 

The world is full of poetry; — the air

Dance to the music of its melodies, 
And sparkle in its brightness.

Yet still they deign'dto hiccup or to bellow 
The glorious word of popular applause, 
Of which the first ne'er knows the second 
cause.

Popularity is as a blaze of illumination, or 
alas, of conflagration kindled round a man; 
showing what is in him ; not putting the 
smallest item more into him ; often abstract- 
ing much from him; conflagrating the poor 
man himself into ashes and caput mortuum. 

a. Caelyle — Essays. Memoirs of the

To some men popularity is always suspi- 
cious. Enjoying none themselves, they are 
prone to suspect the validity of those attain- 
ments which command it. 

b. Geo. Hensy Lewes — The Spanish 

Drama. Ch. III. 

I have seen the dumb men throng to see 

him, 
And the blind to hear him speak: 

Matrons flung gloves, 
Ladies and maids their scarfs and handker- 
chiefs, 
Upon him as he passed; the nobles bended, 
As to Jove's statue ; and the commons made 
A shower and thunder with their caps and 
shouts. 

c. Coriolanus. Act II. Sc. 1.

The stairs, as he treads on them, kiss his

POVERTY.

I own myself corrupt and weak, 
Yet will I pray, for thou wilt hear.

Whatever weal or woe betide

Pray in the darkness, if there be no light.

And, as the long divorce of steel falls on me, 
Make of your prayers one sweet sacrifice, 
And lift my soul to heaven.

His worst fault is, that he is given to

If you bethink yourself of any crime 
Unreconcil'd as yet to heaven and grace,

Let never day nor night unhallow'd pass, 
But still remember what the Lord hath done.

More things are wrought by prayer 
Than this world dreams of. Wherefore, let 

thy voice 
Eise like a fountain for me night and day. 
For what are men better than sheep or goats 
That nourish a blind life within the brain, 
If, knowing God, they lift not hands of 

prayer 
Both for themselves and those who call them 

friend ? 
For so the whole round world is every way 
Bound by gold chains about the feet of God. 
t. Tennyson — Idyls of the King. The 

Passing of Arthur. Line 247 

Why, therefore, should we do ourselves this 

wrong, 
Or others — that we are not always strong; 
That we are ever overborne with care; 
That we should ever weak or heartless be, 
Anxious or troubled, when with us is prayer, 
And joy, and strength, and courage are with 

thee? 
u. Trench — Sonnet. On Prayer. 

Serve God before the world; let him not go, 
Until thou hast a blessing ; then resigne, 
The whole unto him; and remember who 
Prevail'd by wrestling ere the sun did shine. 
Poure oyle upon the stones ; weep for thy 

sin 
Then journey on, and have an eie to 

heav'n.

READING. 

Beading is to the mind, what exercise is to 
the body. As by the one, health is preserved, 
strengthened, and invigorated ; by the other, 
virtue (which is the health of the mind) is 
kept alive, cherished, and confirmed. 

s. Addison — Tlie Taller. No. 147. 

Bead not to contradict and confute, nor to 
believe and take for granted, nor to find 
talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider. 
Some books are to be tasted, others to be 
swallowed, and some few to be chewed and 
digested; that is, some books are to be read 
only in parts; others to be read, but not cu- 
riously; and some few to be read wholly, and 
with diligence and attention.

Two angels guide 
The path of man, both aged and yet young, 
As angels are, ripening through endless 

years. 
On one he leans: some call her Memory, 
And some, Tradition; and her voice is sweet. 
With deep mysterious accords: the other, 
Floating above, holds down a lamp which 

streams 
A light divine and searching on the earth, 
Compelling eyes and footsteps. Memory 

yields, 
Yet clings with loving check, and 6hines 

anew 
Reflecting all the rays of that bright lamp 
Our angel Reason holds. We had not 

walked 
But for Tradition; we walk evermore 
To higher paths, by brightning Reason's 

lamp.

REFLECTION. 

The contemplation of celestial things will

d. Cicebo. 

The solitary side of our nature demands 
leisure for reflection upon subjects on which 
the dash and whirl of daily business, so long

Men's works have an age, like themselves: 
and though they outlive their authors, yet 
have they a stint and period to their dura-

general flames, when all things shall confess 
their ashes.

Persecution is a bad and indirect way to 
plant religion. 

a. Sir Thomas Browne — Religio Medici. 

Speak to me low, my Saviour, low and sweet 
From out the hallelujahs, sweet and low, 
Lest I shoxild fear and fall, and miss Thee so 
Who art not missed by any that entreat. 

b. E. B. Browning — Comfort. 

The body of all true religion consists, to 
be sure, in obedience to the will of the 
Sovereign of the world, in a confidence in 
His declarations, and in imitation of His per- 
fections. 

c. Burke — Reflections on the Revolution in 

France. 

We know, and, what is better, we feel in- 
wardly, that religion is the basis of civil so- 
ciety,- and the source of all good, and of all 
comfcrt. 

d. Btjeke — Reflections on the Revolution in 

Prance. 

G — knows I'm no the thing I should be, 
Nor am I even the thing I could be 
But twenty times I rather would be 

An atheist clean,

Eeligion, the pious worship of God.

Men will wrangle for religion; write for it;

Piety, like wisdom, consists in the dis- 
covery of the rules under which we are ac- 
tually placed, and in faithfully obeying 
them. 

m. Froude — Short Studies on Great 

Subjects. Calvinism. 

Sacrifice is the first element of religion, 
and resolves itself in theological language 
into the love of God. 

n. Froude — Short Stories on Great 

Subjects. Sea Studies. 

There are at bottom but two possible reli- 
gions — that which rises in the moral nature 
of man, and which takes shape in moral com- 
mandments, and that which grows out of the 
observation of the material energies which 
operate in the external universe. 

o. Fbotjde — Short Slitdies on Great 

Subjects. Calvinism. 

A little skill in antiquity inclines a man to 
Popery; but depth in that study brings him 
about again to our religion. 

p. Fuller — The True Church Antiquary. 

The consciousness of faith, of sins forgiven, 
Of wrath appeased, of heavy guilt thrown off, 
Sheds on my breast its long forgotten peace, 
And shining steadfast as the noonday sun, 
Lights me along the path that duty marks. 
q. L. J. Hall — Miriam. 

Of Law there can be no less acknowledged, 
than that her seat is the bosom of God, the 
harmony of the world : all things in heaven 
and earth do her homage, the very least as 
feeling her care, and the greatest as not ex- 
empted from her power. 

r. Eichaed Hooker — Ecclesiastical 

Polity. Bk. I. 

To be of no church is dangerous, 
s. Johnson — Life of Milton. 

The Cross! it takes our guilt away; 

It holds the fainting spirit up; 
It cheers with hope the gloomy day, 

And sweetens every bitter cup; 
It makes the coward spirit brave, 

And nerves the feeble arm for fight; 
It takes its terror from the grave, 

And gilds the bed of death with light. 

t. Thomas Kelly — We Sing the Praise 
of Him Who Died. 

Life and religion are one, or neither is 
anything: I will not say neither is growing 
to be anything. Religion is no way of life, 
no show of life, no observance of any sort 
It is neither the food nor medicine of being. 
It is life essential. 

m. George MacDonald — The Marquis of 
Lossie. Ch. LXI. 

One drop of baptismal water poured upon 
the infant's head, from the holy font of wis- 
dom and love, will puench more of the fires 
of guilt, than an ocean of consecrated waters 
can afterwards extinguish.

g. Pope— The Bunciad. Bk. IV. 

Line 649. 

Human happiness has no perfect security 
but freedom; — freedom none but virtue; — 
virtue none but knowledge; and neither 
freedom, nor virtue, nor knowledge has any 
vigor, or immortal hope, except in the prin- 
ciples of the Christian faith, and in the sanc- 
tions of the Christian religion. 

h. Josiah Qcincy — Centennial Address, 
Boston, Sept. 17, 1830. 

Obedience, we may remember, is a part of 
religion, and therefore an element of peace ; 
but love which includes obedience, is the 
whole.

And tear his helpless breast, o'erwhelmed

Men's minds are as variant as their faces. 
Where the motives of their actions are pure, 
the operation of the former is no more to be 
imputed to them, as a crime, than the ap- 
pearance of the latter: for both, being the 
work of nature, are alike unavoidable.

Absence of occupation is not rest 
A mind quite vacant is a mind distress'd. 
o. Cower— Retirement. Line 628. 

Rest is not quitting the busy career; 
Rest is the fitting of self to its sphere. 
p. John D wight — True Rest. 

I thirst for thirstiness; I weep for tears; 
Well pleased am I to be displeased thus: 
The only thing I fear is want of fears; 
Suspecting I am not suspicious. 

I cannot choose but live, because I die, 
And, when I am not dead, how glad am I ! 
Yet, when I am thus glad for sense of pain, 
And careful am, lest I should careless be, 
Then do I desire for being glad again, 
And fear lest carelessness take care from me. 
Amidst these restless thoughts this rest I 

find, 
For those that rest not here, there's rest be- 
hind.

SCIENCE. 

I value Science — none can prize it more, 
It gives ten thousand motives to adore: 
Be it religious, as it ought to be, 
The heart it humbles, and it bows the knee: 
What time it lays the breast of Nature bare, 
Discerns God's fingers working everywhere; 



In the vast sweep of all embracing laws, 
Finds Him the real and the only Cause; 
And, in the light of clearest evidence, 
Perceives Him acting in the present tense; — 
Not as some claim, once acting but now not, 
The glorious product of His hands forgot — 
Having wound up the grand automaton, 
Leaving it, henceforth, to itself to run . 
e. Abbaham Coles — Tlte Microcosm.

To-day the Spring is in the air 
And in the blood: sweet sun-gleams come 

and go 
Upon the hills, in lanes the wild-flowers 

flow, 
And tender leaves are bursting everywhere. 
About the hedge the small birds peer and 

dart, 
Each bush is full of amorous flutterings 
And little rapturous cries. 

q. John Todhunter — Laurella and Other 
Poems. First Spring Day. 

'Tis spring-time on the eastern hills! 
Like torrents gush the summer rills ; 
Through winter's moss and dry dead leaves 
The bladed grass revives and lives, 
Pushes the mouldering waste away, 
And glimpses to the April day . 
r. Whittier — Mogg Megone. Pt. III. 

The spring is here — the delicate footed May, 
With its slight fingers full of leaves and 

flowers, 
And with it comes a thirst to be away, 
Wasting in wood-paths its voluptuous hours,

SUMMEE. 

In lang, laDg days o' simmer, 

When the clear and cloudless sky 
Eufuses ae wee drap o' rain 

To Nature, parched and dry, 
The genial night, wi' balmy breath, 

Gars verdure spring anew, 
An' ilka blade o' grass 

Keps its ain drap o' dew.

Eternal summer gilds them yet, 
But all, except their sun, is set.

To some the gravestone of a dead delight, 
To some the landmark of a new domain. 

k. Longfellow — A Summer Day by the 

Sea, 
The full ripe corn is bending 

In waves of golden light; 
The new-mown hay is sending 

Its sweets upon the night; 
The breeze is softly sighing, 

To cool the parched flowers; 
The rain, to see them dying, 

Weeps forth its gentle showers; 
The merry fish are playing, 

Adown yon crystal stream ; 
And night from day is straying, 

As twilight gives its gleam.

The garlands fade that Spring so lately 

wove, 
Each simple flower, which she had nursed in

Anemonies, that spangled every grove, 
The primrose waD, and harebell mildly blue. 
No more shall violets linger in the dell, 
Or purple orchis variegate the plain, 
Till Spring again shall call forth every bell, 
And dress with hurried hands her wreaths 

again.

All-conquering Heat, O, intermit thy wrath! 
And on my throbbing temples potent thus 
Beam not so fierce! incessant still you flow,

AUTUMN. 

Now Autumn's fire burns slowly along the 

woods, 
And day by day the dead leaves fall and 

melt, 
And night by night the monitory blast 
Wails in the key-hole, telling how it pass'd 
O'er empty fields, or upland solitudes, 
Or grim wide wave ; and now the power is 

felt 
Of melancholy, tenderer in its moods 
Than any joy indulgent summer dealt. 

e. William Allingham — Day and Night

The promised party, to enjoy its sweets. 
The corn is cut, the manor full of game; 
The pointer ranges, and the sportsman 
beats 
In russet jacket; — lynx-like is his aim; 
Full grows his bag, and wonderful his feats. 
Ah, nutbrown partridges! Ah, brilliant

And ah, ye poachers! — 'Tis no sport for j

Go, rose, since you must. 
Flowerless and chill the winter draweth nigh ; 
Closed are the blithe and fragrant lips 
which made 
All summer long perpetual melody. 

Cheerless we take our way, but not afraid: 
Will there not be more roses — by and by ? 
i. Susan Coolidge — A Farewell. 

There is a fearful spirit busy now: 
Already have the elements unfurled 
Their banners: the great sea-wave is up- 
curled ; 
The cloud comes: the fierce winds begin to 

blow 
About, and blindly on their errands go, 
And quickly will the pale red leaves be 

hurled 
From their dry boughs, and all the forest 

world, 
Stripped of its pride, be like a desert show.

And thou art here alone, — alone, — 

Sing, little bird! the rest have flown. 
n. Holmes — Songs of Many Seasons. An 
Old- Year Song. 

I saw old Autumn in the misty morn 
Stand shadowless like Silence, listening 
To silence, for no lonely bird would sing 
Into his hollow ear from woods forlorn, 
Nor lowly hedge nor solitary thorn; 
Shaking his languid locks all dewy bright 
With tangled gossamer that fell by night, 
Pearling his coronet of golden corn,

The brown autumn came. Out of doors, 
it brought to the fields the prodigality of the

When falling leaves falter through motion-

Or numbly cling and shiver to be gone!

As with her nectar Hebe Autumn fills 
The bowl between me and those distant

And smiles and shakes abroad her misty, 
tremulous hair!

The snow is on the mountain, 

The frost is on the vale, 
The ice hangs o'er the fountain, 

The storm rides on the gale; 
The earth is bare and naked, 

The air is cold — and drear, 
The sky with snow-clouds flaked, 

And dense foul fogs appear; 
The sun shines not so brightly 

Through the dark murky skies, 
The nights grow longer — nightly, 

And thus the winter dies.

Life. Winter. 

Leaves are sear, 
And flowers are dead, and fields are drear, 
And streams are wild, and skies are bleak, 
And white with snow each mountain's peak 
When winter rules the year; 
And children grieve, as if for aye 
Leaves, flowers, and birds were past away: 
But buds and blooms again are seen, 
And fields are gay, and hills are green, 
And streams are bright, and sweet birds sing.

And the dull drops, that from his purpled

As from a limebeck did adown distill: 
In his right hand a tipped staffe he held, 
With which his feeble steps he stayed still;

A gentleman is one who understands and 
shows every mark of deference to the claims 
of self-love in others, and exacts it in return 
from them. 

q. Hazlitt — Table Talk. On the Look of 

a Gentleman, 

To observations which ourselves we make, 
We grow more partial for the Observer's sake. 
r. Pope — Moral Essays. Ep. I. Line 2. 

I to myself am dearer than a friend. 
s. Two Gentlemen of Verona. Act II. 

Sc. 6. 

O villanous! I have looked upon the world 
for four times seven years! and since I could 
distinguish between a benefit and an injury, 
I never found a man that knew how to love 
himself. 

t. Othello. Act I. Sc. 3. 

Self-love is the instrument of our preserva- 
tion; it resembles the provision for the per- 
petuity of mankind: — it is necessary, it is 
dear to us, it gives us pleasure, and we must 
conceal it. 

m, Voltaire — A Philosophical Dictionary. 

Self-Love. 

SENSE. 

The region of the senses is the unbelieving 
part of the human soul. 

v. George MacDonald — Mary Marston . 

Ch. XIL 

Good sense, which only is the gift of heaven, 
And though no science fairly worth the 
seven. 
w. Pope — Moral Essays. Ep. IV. 

Line 43. 

What thin partitions Sense from Thought 
divide. 
x. Pope — Essay on Man. Ep. I. 

Line 226. 

Sense is our helmet, wit is but the plume-, 
The plume exposes, 'tis our helmet saves. 
Sense is the diamond weighty, solid, sound; 
When cut by wit, it casts a brighter beam ; 
Yet, wit apart, it is a diamond still.

SENSIBILITY. 



SHAKESPEARE. 



SENSIBILITY. 

Susceptible persons are more affected by a 
change of tone than by unexpected words. 

a. George Eliot — Adam Bede. 

Ch. XXVII. 

And the heart that is soonest awake to the 

flowers 
Is always the first to be touch' d by the 

thorns. 

b. Mooee — Think JS'ot My Spirits. 

It seem'd as if each thought, and look, 
And motion were that minute chain'd 

Past to the spot, such root she took, 

And like a sunflower by a brook, 

With face upturn'd — so still remain'd! 

c. Mooee — Loves of the Angels. First 

Angel's Story. 

Since trifles make the sum of human things, 
And half our misery from our foibles springs; 
Since life's best joys consist in peace and 

ease, 
And though but few can serve, yet all may 

please; 
Oh let th' ungentle spirit learn from hence, 
A small unkindness is a great offence. 

d. Hannah Mobe — Sensibility. 

The hint malevolent, the look oblique, 
The obvious satire, or implied dislike; 
The sneer equivocal, the harsh reply, 
And all the cruel language of the eye; 
The artful enquiry, whose venomed dart 
Scarce wounds the hearing while it stabs the 

heart ; 
The guarded phrase, whose meaning kills, 

yet told, 
The list'ner wonders how you thought it 

cold; 
These, and a thousand griefs minute as 

these, 
Corrode our comfort and destroy our ease. 

e. Hannah More — Sensibility. 

And the touch d needle trembles to the pole. 
/. Pope — Temple of Fame. Line 431. 

SHADOWS. 

What shadows we are, and what shadows 
we pursue. 

g. Burke — Speech at Bristol on Declining 

the Poll. 

And coming events cast their shadows before. 
h. Campbell — Lochiel's Warning. 

Shadow owes its birth to light. 

i. Gay — The Persian, Sun, and Cloud. 

Line 10. 

A shadow came and lingered where the sun- 
light stood before. 
j. Anna Katharine Green — The Sword 
of Damocles. Bk. HI. Ch. XXLH. 

Follow a shadow, it still flies you 
Seem to fly it, it will pursue. 
k. Ben Jonson — To Celia. Song. 



Alas! must it ever be so? 
So we stand in our own light wherever we 

go. 
And fight our own shadows forever. 

1. Owen Meredith — Lucile. Canto IL 

St. 5. 

Shadows are in reality, when the sun is 
shining, the most conspicuous thing in a 
landscape, nest to the highest lights. 

in. Kuskln — Painting. 



Checker'd shadow. 

n. Titus Andronicus. 



Act H. Sc. 3. 



Come like shadows, so depart, 
o. Macbeth. Act IV. Sc. 1. 

Shadows to-night 
Have struck more terror to the soul of 

Richard, 
Than can the substance of ten thousand 

soldiers, 
Armed in proof, and led by shallow Rich- 
mond. 
p. Richard III. Act V. Sc. 3. 

Some there be that shadows kiss; 
Such have but a shadow's bliss. 
q. Merchant of Venice. Act H. Sc. 9. 

SHAKESPEARE. 

This was Shakespeare's form ; 
Who walked in every path of human life, 
Felt every passion; and to all mankind 
Doth now, will ever, that experience yield 
Which his own genius only could acquire. 
r. Akenslde — Inscription for a Monument 
of Shakespeare. 

If I say that Shakespeare is the greatest 
of intellects, I have said all concerning him. 
But there is more in Shakespeare's intellect 
than we have yet seen. It is what I call an 
unconscious intellect; there is more virtue in 
it than he himself is aware of. 

s. Carltle — Essay. Characteristics of 

Shakespeare. 

Our myriad-minded Shakespeare. 

t. Coleridge — Biographia Literaria. 

Ch. XV. 

Far from Shakespeare's being the least 
known, he is the one person, in all modern 
history, known to us. What point of morals, 
of manners, of economy, of philosophy, of 
religion, of taste, of the conduct of life, has 
he not settled? What mystery has he not sig- 
nified his knowledge of? What office, or 
function, or district of man's work, has he 
not remembered? What king has he not 
taught state, as Talma taught Napoleon? 
What maiden has not found him finer than 
her delicacy? What lover has he not outloved? 
What sage has he not outseen? What gentle- 
man has he not instructed in the rudeness of 
his behavior ? 

w. Emerson — Shakespeare.

SILENCE. 

Silence never shows itself to so great an 
advantage, as when it is made the reply to 
calumny and defamation, provided that we 
give no just occasion for them.

Disputed which the best might be: 
For still their music seemed to start 
Discordant echoes in each heart.

And bring them back to heaven again.

And they were canopied by the blue sky, 
So cloudless, clear, and purely beautiful,

Sometimes gentle, sometimes capricious, 
sometimes awful; never the same for two 
moments together; almost human in its pas- 
sions, almost spiritual in its tenderness, al- 
most Divine in its infinity, its appeal to 
what is immortal in us is as distinct as its 
ministry of chastisement or of blessing to 
what is mortal, is essential.

Enslave a man, and you destroy his ambi-

constitution of human nature, the desires of 
bettering one's condition is the mainspring 
of effort. The first touch of slavery snaps 
this spring. 

o. Mann — Slavery. Letters and Speeches. 
Letter Accepting the Nomination for 
the Thirteenth Congress. 
March, 1848. 
O execrable son, so to aspire 
Above his brethren to himself assuming 
Authority usurp'd; from God not given. 
He gave us only over beast, fish, fowl, 
Dominion absolute; that right we hold 
By his donation: but men over men 
He made not lord : such title to himself 
Reserving, human left from human free.

Of sleep with double nutriment descend.

"We are somewhat more than ourselves in 
our sleeps; and the slumber of the body 
seems to be but the waking of the soul. It 
is the ligation of sense, but the liberty of 
reason; and our waking conceptions do not 
match the fancies of our sleeps. 

a. Sir Thomas Browne — Religio Medici. 

Pt. H. Sec. 11. 
We term sleep a death ; and yet it is waking 
';hat kills us, and destroys those spirits that 
are the house of life. 

b. Sir Thomas Bp.owne — Religio Medici. 

Pt. II. Sec. 12. 

How he sleepeth! having drunken 
Weary childhood's mandragore, 

From his pretty eyes have sunken 
Pleasures to make room for more — 
Sleeping near the withered nosegay which 
he pulled the day before. 

c. E. B. Browning— A Child Asleep. 
Of all the thoughts of God that are 
Borne inward unto souls afar, 

Along the Psalmist's music deep, 
Now tell me if that any is, 
For gift or grace, surpassing this — 

"He giveth His beloved sleep." 

d. E. B. Browning— The Sleep. 
Sleep on, Baby, on the floor, 

Tired of all the playing, 
Sleep with smile the sweeter for 

Tltat you dropped away in! 
On your curls' full roundness, stand 

Golden lights serenely — 
One cheek, pushed out by the hand, 

Folds the dimple inly. 

e. E. B. Browning — Sleeping and 

Watching. 
My slumbers, — if I slumber — are not sleep, 
But a continuance of enduring thought, 
"Which then I can endure not. 

/. Byron— Manfred. Act I. Sc. 1. 
Sleep hath its own world, 
A boundary between the things misnamed 
Death and existence : Sleep hath its own world, 
And a wide realm of wild reality, 
And dreams in their development have breath, 
And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy. 

g. Byron — The Dream. St. 1. 

Blessings light on him who first invented 
sleep! it covers a man all over, thoughts and 
all, like a cloak; it is meat for the hungry, 
drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold, and 
cold for the hot; in short, money that buys 
everything, balance and weight that makes 
the shepherd equal to the monarch, and the 
fool to the wise; there is only one evil in 
sleep, as I have heard, and it is that it re- 
sembles death, since between a dead and a 
sleeping man there is but little difference. 

h. Cervantes — Don Quixote. 
sleep! it is a gentle thing, 
Beloved from pole to pole! 
To Mary Queen the praise be given! 
She sent the gentle sleep from Heaven 
That slid into my soul. 

i. Coleridge — Ancient Mariner. Pt V. 

St. 1. 



Visit her, gentle Sleep! with wings of healing, 
And may this storm be but a mountain birth, 
May all the stars hang bright above her 

dwelling, 
Silent as though they watched the sleeping 

Earth! 
j. Coleridge — Dejection. An Ode. St. 8. 

Sleep, the type of death, is also, like that 
which it typifies, restricted to the earth. It 
flies from hell, and is excluded from heaven.

O Sleep, why dost thou leave me? 
Why thy visionary joys remove?

Care-charmer Sleep, son of the sable Night, 
Brother to Death, in silent darkness born, 
Relieve my languish, and restore the light. 
m. Samuel Daniel— Sonnet.

Prince whose approach peace to all mortals

Indifferent host to shepherds and to kings, 
Sole comforter of minds with grief opprest.

Sleep! to the homeless, thou art home; 
The friendless find in thee a friend ; 
And well is he, where'er he roams, 
"Who meets thee at his journey's end. 
o. Ebenezer Elliott — Sleep. 

gentle Sleep, whose lenient power thus

Who wanted thy soft. aid! Blessing divine! 
That to the wretched giv'st wish'd repose,

Thy death, which is no more.

death.

Come, Sleep: O Sleep! the certain knot of

a. Spenser — Fcerie Queene. Canto VH . 

St. 35. 

She sleeps, her breathings are not heard 

In palace chambers far apart, 
The fragrant tresses are not stirr'd 

That lie upon her charmed heart. 
She sleeps: on either hand up swells 

The gold -fringed pillow lightly prest: 
tshe sleeps, nor dreams, but ever dwells 

A perfect form in perfect rest.

Who would in such a gloomy state remain 
Longer than Nature craves ? 
/. Thomson— The Seasons. Summer. 

Line 71. 

Yet never sleep the sun up ; prayer should 
Dawn with the day; there are set awful 

hours 
'Twixt heaven and us ; the manna was not

After sun-rising: far day sullies flowers; 
Ilise to prevent the sun; sleep doth sin glut, 
And heaven's gate opens when the world's is 

shut.

Come, gentle sleep! attend thy votary's

And, without dying, O how sweet to die! 
k. Wolcot — Epigram on Sleep. 

The sleep that is among the lonely hills.

Man's rich restorative! his balmy bath, 
That supplies, lubricates, and keeps in play, 
The various movements of this nice machine, 
Which asks such frequent periods of repair. 
When tired with vain rotations of the day, 
Sleep winds us up for the succeeding dawn; 
Fresh we spin on, till sickness clogs our 

wheels, 
Or death quite breaks the spring, and motion 

ends. 
p. Young — Xight Thoughts. Night LX.

b. Peter Plndab — Pindariana. 

Eternal smiles his emptiness betray,

c. Pope — Prologue to Satires. Line 315. 

Her smile was prodigal of summery shine, — 
Gayly persistent, — like a morn in June 
That laughs away the clouds, and up and

Goes merry making with the ripening grain, 
That slowly ripples,— its bent head drooped 

down, 
With golden secret of the sheathed seed.

New. Unvisited. 
Nobly he yokes

SNOW. 

Stand here by my side and turn, I pray, 

On the lake below thy gentle eyes; 
The clouds hang over it, heavy and gray, 

And dark and silent the water lies; 
And out of that frozen mist the snow 

In wavering flakes begins to flow. 
Flake after flake 
They sink in the dark and silent lake. 

j. Beyant— The Snow-Shower. 

Lo, sifted through the winds that blow, 
Down comes the soft and silent snow, 
White petals from the flowers that grow 

In the cold atmosphere. 
These starry blossoms, pure and white, 
Soft falling, falling, through the night, 

Have draped the woods and mere. 
k. GeobgeW Bungay — The Artists of

Through the sharp air a flaky torrent flies, 
Mocks the slow sight, and hides the gloomy 

skies; 
The fleecy clouds their chilly bosoms bare, 
And shed their substance on the floating air. 
I. Ceabbe — Inebriety. 

Announced by all the trumpets of the sky, 
Arrives the snow, and, driving o'er the fields,' 
Seems nowhere to alight: the whited air , 
Hides hills and woods, the river, and the 

heaven, 
And veils the farmhouse at the garden's end. 
m. Emeeson — The Snow-Storm. 

Come see the north-wind's masonry. 
Out of an unseen quarry evermore 
Furnished with tide, the fierce artificer 
Curves his white bastions with projected.

Speeding, the myriad-handed, his wild work 
So fanciful, so savage, naught cares he

Silently, like thoughts that come and go, 
the snow flakes fall, each one a gem . 
o. W. Hamilton Gibson— Pastoral Days. 

Winter . 

How beautiful it was, falling so silently, 
all day long, all night long, on the mountains, 
on the meadows, on the roofs of the living.,

p. Longfellow— Kavanagh . 

Ch. XXVIII 
Out of the bosom of the air, 

Out of the cloud-folds of her garments

Over the woodlands brown and bare, 

Over the harvest-fields forsaken ;

Of unsuccessful or successful war, 
Might never reach me more !

And, since 'tis hard to combat, learns to fly!

Let it not be among the jumbled heap 
Of murky buildings: climb with me the

Nature's observatory — whence the dell, 
In flowery slopes, its rivers crystal swell, 
May seem a span ; let me thy vigils keep 
'Mongst boughs pavilion'd, where the deer's 
swift leap 
Startles the wild bee from the fox glove bell.

Is my soul's pleasure; and it sure must be 
Almost the highest bliss of human-kind,

Be broken ere the morrow, '

To weep with them that weep doth ease some 

deal, 
But sorrow flouted at is double death.

spies, 
But in battalions! 

g. Hamlet. Act IV. Sc. 5.

And Isr'el's beauty on the mountain dies.

Lest my sad tale should reach the alien's 

ears: 
Bid Fame be dumb, and tremble to pro-

In heathen Gath, or Ascalon, our flame, 
Lest proud Philistia, lest our haughty foe, 
With impious scorn insult our solemn woe.

No iron chain, or outward force of any

reign and believe there by the grace of God 
alone!

p. Spenser — An Hymn in Honour of 

Beauty. Line 132. 

Nature who has made no two leaves to re-

with a still greater diversity, and imitation 
then is a kind of death since it robs each 
of its individual existence. 

a. Madame de Stael — Corinne. Bk. VII. 

Ch. I. 

The soul is a fire that darts its rays through 
all the senses ; it is in this fire that existence 
consists ; all the observations and all the ef- 
forts of philosophers ought to turn towards 
this Me, the centre and moving power of 
our sentiments and our ideas. 

r. Madame de Stael — Germany. Pt. III. 

Ch. II. 

What then do you call your soul ? What 
idea have you of it? You cannot of your- 
selves, without revelation, admit the exist- 
ence within you of anything but a power un- 
known to you of feeling and thinking. 

s. Voltaire — A Philosophical Dictionary.

And at a distance die.

To varnish nonsense with the charms of 
sound.

divided mind for the truth of your speaking. 

e. Carlyle — Essays. Biography. 

Think all you speak; but speak not all you 

think: 
Thoughts are your own ; your words are so 

no more. 
"Where Wisdom steers, wind cannot make 

you sink: 
Lips never err, when she does keep the

For since these arms of mine had seven vears'

More than pertains to feats of broil and

And therefore little shall I grace my cause, 
In speaking for mvself.

Aerial spirits, by great Jove design'd 
To be on earth the guardians of mankind:

They can reward with glory or with gold,

All through her silent watches, gliding slow, 
Her constellations come, and climb the 
heavens, and go. 
c. Bryant — Hymn to the North Star. 

The starry heaven, though it occurs so 
very frequently to our view, never fails to 
excite an idea of grandeur. This cannot be 
owing to anything in the stars themselves, 
separately considered. The number is cer- 
tainly the cause. The apparent disorder 
augments the grandeur; for the appearance 
of care is highly contrary to our ideas of 
magnificence. Besides, the stars lie in such 
apparent confusion as makes it impossible, 
on ordinary occasions, to reckon them. This 
gives them the advantage of a sort of in- 
finity.

Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it.

Hark! hark! Deep sounds, and deeper still,

I am Storm — the King! 
My troops are the wind, and the hail, and the

That gnarls his front to my charge and

d. Feancis M. Finch — The Storm King. 

Eoads are wet where'er one wendeth,

Ah! the sun comes never near us, 

And the heavens look dark and wild. 

e. Maey Howrrr — The Wet Summer. 

From the German. 

A storm-cloud lurid with lightning, 
And a cry of lamentation, 
Eepeated and again repeated, 
Deep and loud 
As the reverberation 
Of cloud answering unto cloud, 
Swells and rolls away in the distance, 
As if the sheeted 
Lightning retreated, 

Baffled and thwarted by the wind's resist- 
ance.

And instant death on every wave appears.

Eesounding long in listening Fancy's ear.

At first, heard solemn o'er the verge of

The tempest growls, but as it nearer comes, 
And rolls its awful burden on the wind, 
The lightnings flash a larger curve, and 

more 
The noise astounds ; till overhead a sheet 
Of livid flame discloses wide; then shuts, 
And opens wider; shuts and opens still 
Expansive, wrapping ether in a blaze, 
Follows the loosened aggravated roar,- 
Enlarging, deepening, mingling; peal on

Crushed horrible, convulsing heaven and

Or, when he can no longer stand, 
Desires a friend to lend a hand ;

Should sink, and fall about his ears, 
Got Hercules to bear the pile,

The studious class are their own victims; 
they are thin and pale, their feet are cold, 
their heads are hot, the night is without 
sleep, the day a fear of interruption, — pallor, 
squalor, hunger, and egotism. If you come 
near them and see what conceits they enter- 
tain — they are abstractionists, and spend 
their days and nights in dreaming some 
dream; in expecting the homage of society to 
some precious scheme built on a truth, but 
destitute of proportion in its presentment, of 
justness in its application, and of all energy 
of will in the schemer to embody and vitalize 
it.

If you devote your time to study you will 
avoid all the irksomeness of life; nor will 
you long for the approach of night, being 
tired of the day; nor will you be a burden to

Style is the dress of thoughts. 

a. Earl of Chesterfield — Letter. 

Nov. 24, 1749. 

It is style alone by which posterity will 
judge of a great work, for an author can have 
nothing truly his own but his style; * 
* * * an author's diction cannot be taken 
from him. 

b. Isaac Disbaeli — Literary Character of 

Men of Genius. Style. 

Style! style! why, all writers will tell you 
that it is the very thing which can least of all 
be changed. A man's style is nearly as much 
a part of him as his physiognomy, his figure, 
the throbbing of his pulse, — in short, as any 
part of his being which is at least subjected. 
to the action of the will. 

c. Fenelon. 

The sublime and the ridiculous are often 
so nearly related, that it is difficult to class 
them separately. One step below the sub- 
lime makes the ridiculous; and one step 
above the ridiculous makes the sublime 
again. 

d. Thomas Paine — Age of Reason. Pt. II. 

(Also attributed to Napoleon I. and 
Fontenelle.) 

Expression is the dress of thought, and still 
Appears more decent, as more suitable; 
A vile conceit in pompous words express'd, 
Is like a clown in regal purple dress'd.

Lifts up his burning head, each under eye 
Doth homage to his new-appearing sight, 
Serving with looks his sacred majesty; 
And having climb'd the steep-up heavenly 

hill, 
Resembling strong youth in his middle age, 
Yet mortal looks adore his beauty still, 
Attending on his golden pilgrimage; 
But when from highmost pitch, with weary

Like feeble age, he reeleth from the day, 
The eyes, 'fore duteous, now converted are 
From his low tract, and look another way.

The meagre cloddy earth to glittering gold.

Foes of our race, and dogs of Hell, 
Dread its avenging ire. 
g. Thomas Taylor — Ode to the Rising

Submissively retire.

The east is blossoming! Tea, a rose, 
Tast as the heavens, soft as a kiss, 
Sweet as the presence of woman is, 
Eises and reaches and widens and grows 
Eight out of the sea, as a blossoming tree; 
Eicher and richer; so higher and higher, 
Deeper and deeper it takes its hue; 
Brighter and brighter it reaches through 
The space of heaven and the place of stars, 
Till all as rich as a rose can be, 
And my rose leaves fall into billows of fire, 
fc. Joaquin Miller — Sunrise in Venice. 



The whole east was flecked 
With flashing streaks and shafts of amethyst, 
While a light crimson mist 
Went up before the mounting luminary, 
And all the strips of cloud began to vary 
Their hues, and all the zenith seemed to ope 
As if to show a cope beyond the cope!

The West is crimson with retiring day; 
And the North gleams with its own native 
light. 
s. John H. Bryant — Sonnet. 

; It was the cooling hour, just when the 
rounded 
Eed sun sinks down behind the azure hill, 
Which then seems as if the whole earth is 
bounded, 
Circling all nature, hush'd, and dim. and 
still, 
With the far mountain-crescent half sur- 
rounded 
On one side, and the deep sea calm and 
chill 
Upon the other, and the rosy sky, 
With one star sparkling through it like an 
eve.

Go forth at eventide, 
The eventide of summer, when the trees 
Yield their frail honors to the passing breeze, 

And woodland paths with autumn tints 
are dyed; 
"When the mild sun his paling lustre shrouds 
In gorgeous draperies of golden clouds; 
Then wander forth, mid beauty and decay, 
To meditate alone — alone to watch and 
pray.

Oft did I wonder why the setting sun 
Should look upon us with a blushing face: 
Is't not for shame of what he hath seen 

done, 
Whilst in our hemisphere he ran his race? 

c. Heath — First Century. On the Setting 

Sun. 

Purple, violet, gold and white, 

Royal clouds are they; 
Catching the spear like rays in the west — 
Lining therewith each downy nest, 

At the close of Summer day. 

Forming and breaking in the sky, 

I fancy all shapes are there; 
Temple, mountain, monument, spire; 
Ships rigged out with sails of fire, 

And blown by the evening air. 

d. J. K. Hoyt — A Summer Sunset 

The gloaming comes, the day is spent, 

The sun goes out of sight, 
And painted is the Occident 

With purple sanguine bright. 

****** 

Our western horizon circulars, 

From time the sun be set, 
Is all with rubies as it were, 

Or roses red o'erfret. 

e. Alexander Hume — The Story of a 

Summer Day. 

After a day of cloud and wind and rain 
Sometimes the setting sun breaks out again, 
And, touching all the darksome woods with 
light, 
Smiles on the fields until they laugh and 

sing, 
Then like a ruby from the horizon's ring 
Drops down into the night. 
/. Longfellow — The Hanging of the 

Crane. Pt. VII. 

Down sank the great red sun, and in golden,

Veiled the light of his face, like the Prophet, 
descending from Sinai. 
a. Longfellow — Evangeline. Pt. I. 

Sec. 4. 



Softly the evening came. The sun from the 

western horizon 
Like a magician extended his golden wand 

o'er the landscape; 
Twinkling vapors arose; and sky and water

Seemed all on fire at the touch, and melted 

and mingled together. 
h. Longfellow — Evangeline. Pt. II. 

Sec. 2. 

The day is done; and slowly from. the scene 
The stooping sun up-gathers his spent shafts. 
And puts them back into his golden quiver! 
i. Longfellow— Christus. The Golden 
Legend. Pt. I. 

Now glowed the firmament 
With living sapphires; Hesperus, that led 
The starry host, rode brightest, till the Moon. 
Rising in clouded majesty, at length 
Apparent queen, unveiled her peerless light, 
And o'er the dark her silver mantle threw. 
j. Milton— Paradise Lost. Bk. IV. 

Line 605. 

Now in his Palace of the West, 

Sinking to slumber tne bright Day, 
Like a tired monarch fann'd to rest,

Struggling each other's : ght to dim, 

And catch his last smile ere he slept.

How fine has the day been, how bright was 

the sun, 
How lovely and joyful the course that he run, 
Though he rose in a mist when his race he 
begun, 
And there followed some droppings of rain! 
But now the fair traveller's come to the west, 
His rays are all gold, and his beauties are best; 
He paints the skies gay as he sinks to his rest, 
And foretells a bright rising again.

Wafted the traveller to the beauteous west.

SUPERSTITION. 

Foul Superstition! howsoe'er disguised, 
Idol, saint, -virgin, prophet, crescent, cross, 
For whatsoever symbol thou art prized, 
Thou sacerdotal gain, but general loss! 
Who from true worship's gold can separate 
thy dross? 

b. Byron— Childe Harold. Canto II. 

St. 44. 

Superstition is a senseless fear of God. 

c. Cicero. 

The superstition in which we were brought 
up never loses its power over us even after 
we understand it. 

d. Leffing. 

Superstition is related to this life, religion 
to the next; superstition is allied to fatality, 
religion to virtue; it is by the vivacity of 
earthly desires that we become superstitious ; 
it is, on the contrary, by the sacrifice of 
these desires that we become religious.

Pity and need

Nor sacred thread on neck.

a. Carlyle — Essays. Goethe's Works. 

There is in souls a sympathy with sounds. 
6. Cowper— The Task. Bk. VI. Line 1. 

The impulse to confession almost always 
requires the presence of a fresh ear and a 
fresh heart; and in our moments of spiritual 
need, the man to whom we have no tie but 
our common nature, seems nearer to us than 
mother, brother, or friend. Our daily fa- 
miliar life is but a hiding of ourselves from 
each other behind a screen of trivial words 
and deeds, and those who sit with us at the 
same hearth are often the farthest off from 
the deep human soul within us, full of un- 
spoken evil and unacted good.

A man may be buoyed up by the afflation 
of his wild desires to brave any imaginable 
peril; but he cannot calmly see one he loves 
braving the same peril; simply because he 
cannot feel within him that which prompts 
another. He sees the danger, and feels not 
the power that is to overcome it.

And touch but tombs, — look up! Those tears 

will run 
Soon in long rivers down the lifted face, 
And leave the vision clear for stars and sun.

To save, subdue — at once her spear and 
shield.

On the blue flow'r, which — Bramins say — 

Blooms nowhere but in Paradise.

h. Sir Philip Sidney— Tlie Arcadia. 

Bk. I. 

If I could think how these my thoughts to 

leave, 
Or thinking still, my thoughts might have 

good end: 
If rebel sense would reason's law receive; 
Or reason foil'd would not in vain contend : 
Then might I think what thoughts were best 

to think: 
Then might I wisely swim, or gladly sink. 
i. Sir Philip Sidney — Sonnet. 

Ihey are never alone that are accompanied

k. Alex. Smith — Dreamthorp. Men of 

Letters. 



I have flown on the winds through the 

vaulted sky, 
In a path unseen by the vulture's eye ; 
I have been where the lion's whelps ne'er 

trod, 
Where Nature is mute in the sight of God. 
I have girdled the earth in my airy flight, 
I have wandered alone 'mid yon spheres of 

light. 
I. Henry Smith — Thought. 

Oh the fetterless mind! how it wandereth 

free

THUNDER. 

Sky, mountains, river, winds, lake, light- 
nings! ye! 

With night, and clouds, and thunder, and a 
soul 

To make these felt and feeling, well may be 

Things that have made me watchful; the far 
roll 

Of your departing voices, is the knoll 

Of what in me is sleepless, — if I rest. 

But where of ye, O tempests! is the goal? 

Are ye like those within the human breast? 

Or do ye find, at length, like eagles, some 
high nest? 

b. Bykon— Childe Harold. Canto in.

TIDES. 

All night the thirsty beach has listening lain' 

With patience dumb, 
Counting the slow, sad moments of her pain; 

Now morn has come, 
And with the morn the punctual tide again. 
g. Susan Cooltdge — Flood-Tide. 

How easily He turns the tides! 

Just now the yellow beach was dry, 
Just now the gaunt rocks all were bare, 
The sun beat hot, and thirstily, 

Each sea-weed waved its long brown hair, 
And bent and languished as in pain. 
h. Susan Cooltdge — Ebb and Flow. 

The punctual tide draws up the bay, 
With ripple of wave and hiss of spray. 
i. Susan Cooltdge — On the Shore. 



Love has a tide! 
j. Helen Hunt — Verses. 



Tides. 



The creeping tide came up along the sand, 
And o'er and o'er the sand, 
And round and round the sand, 
As far as eye could see; 
The blinding mist came down and hid the 

land, — 
And never home came she. 

k. Charles Kingsley — The Sands o Dee. 

St. 2. 

I saw the long line of the vacant shore, 
The sea-weed and the shells upon the sand, 
And the brown rocks left bare on every hand, 
As if the ebbing tide would flow no more. 
I. Longfellow — The Tides. 

The tide rises, the tide falls, 

The twilight darkens, the curlew calls; 

* * * * « * « 

The little waves, with their soft white hands, 
Efface the footprints in the sands, 

And the tide rises, the tide falls. 

m. Longfellow — Ultima Tkule. The Tide 
Rises, The Tide Falls. 

The Ocean, at the bidding of the Moon, 
For ever changes with his restless tide : 
Flung shoreward now, to be regathered soon 
With kingly pauses of reluctant pride, 
And semblance of return. 

n. Chaeles (Tennyson) Tueneb — Sonnets 
and Fugitive Pieces. The Ocean. 

Tyde flowing is feared for many a thing, 
Great danger to such as be sick it doth 

bring; 
Sea ebb by long ebbing some respite doth 

give, 
And sendeth good comfort to such as shall 
live.

Think not thy time short in this world,

j. Henry VIII. Act V. Sc. 2. 

When I have seen by Time's fell hand de- 
faced 
The rich-proud cost of outworn buried age; 
When sometime lofty towers I see down- 
razed, 
And brass eternal, slave to mortal rage; 
When I ha\e seen the hungry ocean gain 
Advantage on the kingdom of the shore, 
And the firm soil win of the watery main, 
Increasing store with loss, and loss with 

store ; 
When I have seen such interchange of state, 
Or state itself confounded to decay ; 
Ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate, — 
That Time will come and take my love away. 
This thought is as a death, which cannot 

choose 
But weep to have that which it fears to lose 
fc. Sonnet LXIV. 



Unfathomable Sea! whose waves are years, 
Ocean of Time, whose waters of deep woe 
Are brackish with the salt of human tears! 
Thou shoreless flood, which in thy ebb and 

flow 
Claspest the limits of mortality! 
And sick of prey, yet howling on for more, 
Vomitest thy wrecks on its inhospitable 

shore, 
Treacherous in calm, and terrible in storm, 

Who shall put forth on thee, 

Unfathomable sea? 
I. Shelley — Time. 

The flood of time is rolling on, 

We stand upon its brink, whilst they are 

gone 
To glide in peace down death's mysterious 

stream.

Take thou hold upon his forehead;

And behind his scalp is naked..

Long demurs breed new delays.

Too late I stayed, — forgive the crime;

r. Swift — On Time. 

A wonderful stream is the Biver Time, 
As it runs through the realms of Tears, 

With a faultless rhythm, and a musical 
rhyme, 

And a broader sweep, and a surge sublime 
As it blends with the ocean of Years. 
s. Benjamin F. Taylob — The Long Ago.

How grateful will appear her dawning rays, 
As favours unexpected doubly please.

ACACIA. 
Acacia. 

A great acacia with its slender trunk 
And overpoise of multitudinous leaves, 
(In which a hundred fields might spill their 

dew 
And intense verdure, yet find room enough) 

Stood reconciling all the place with green. 

d. E. B. Browning — Aurora Leigh. 

Bk. VI. 

The lawn, 
Which, after sweeping broadly round the 

house, 
Went trickling through the shrubberies in a 

stream 
Of tender turf, and wore and lost itself 
Among the acacias, over which you saw 
The irregular line of elms by the deep lane 
Which stopped the grounds and dammed the 

overflow 
Of arbutus and laurel.

The slender acacia would not shake 

One long milk-bloom on the tree; 
The white lake-blossom fell into the lake,

But the rose was awake all night for your

Knowing your promise to me. 
The lilies and roses were all awake 

They sighed for the dawn and thee.

APPLE. 

Pyrus Malus. 

What plant we in this apple-tree ? 
Sweets for a hundred flowering springs 
To load the May-wind's restless wings, 
When from the orchard-row, he pours 
Its fragrance through the open doors ; 

A world of blossoms for the bee, 
Flowers for the sick girl's silent room, 
For the glad infant sprigs of bloom, 

We plant with the apple tree. 

a. Bkyant — The Planting of the Apple 

Tree.

From the apple tree fall each day; 
The merry breezes approach them,

c. Amelia B. Welby— Hopeless Love. 

ASH. 

Fraxinus. 

The ash her purple drops forgivingly 
And sadly, breaking not the general hush; 

The maple swamps glow like a sunset sea, 
Each leaf a ripple with its separate flash ; 
All round the wood's edge creeps the skirt-

Of bushes low as when on cloudy days 
Ere the rain falls, the cautious farmer burns 
his brush.

the Saviour of the world felt deserted in His 
agony, when — 

'The sympathising sun his light with- 
drew, 
And wonder'd how the stars their dying 

Lord could view ' — 
when earth, shaken with horror, rung the 
passing bell for Deity, and universal nature 
groaned; then from the loftiest tree to the 
lowliest flower all felt a sudden thrill, and 
trembling, bowed their heads, all save the 
proud and obdurate aspen, which said, 
'Why should we weep and tremble? we 
trees, and plants, and flowers are pure and 
never sinned!' Ere it ceased to speak, an 
involuntary trembling seized its every leaf, 
and the word went forth that it should never 
rest, but tremble on until the day of judg- 
ment.

Of wilding blossoms in meadow and wood, 
And flowers in the garden that orderly stood; 
He drank of the milk foaming fresh from the 

cow, 
He ate the ripe apple just pulled from the 

bough; 



And lifted his hand to where hung in his 

reach, 
All laden with honey, the ruddy-cheeked 

peach; 
Bjside him the blackberries juicy and fresh; 
Before him the melon with odorous flesh; 
There he had all for his use or his vision, 

All that the wishes of mortal could seize —

Happily, dreamily,

Bare long after the rest are green ; 
But as time steals onwards, while none per-

Slowly she clothes herself with leaves — 
Hides her fruit under them, hard to find. 



But by and by, when the flowers grow few 
And the fruits are dwindling and small to 

view — 
Out she comes in her matron grace 
With the purple myriads of her race; 
Full of plenty from root to crown, 
Showering plenty her feet adown. 
While far over head hang gorgeously 
Large luscious berries of sanguine dye, 

For the best grows highest, always 

highest, 
Upon the mulberry-tree,

Who hath ruled in the greenwood long: 
Here's health and renown to his broad tureen 
crown, 

And his fifty arms so strong. 
There's fear in his frown when the Sun goes 
down, 

And the fire in the West fades out; 
And he showeth his might on a wild midaight, 

When the storm through his branches shout.

But now the gray mosse marred his rine; 
His bared boughes were beaten with stormes, 
His toppe was bald, and wasted with wormes, 
His honour decayed, his braunches sere.

Plato's retirement, where the Attic bird 
Trills her thick-warbled notes the summer

ORANGE. 

Citrus Auranlium. 

The orange tree has fruit and flowers; 

The grendilla, in its bloom, 
Hangs o'er its high, luxuriant bowers, 

Like fringes from a Tyrian loom. 

j. Maria Brooks — Farewell to Cuba. 

The fragrant orange flowers, 
Fall to earth in silver showers. 
k. Julia C. R. Dorr — Agnes. 

Yes, sing the song of the orange tree, 

With its leaves of velvet green; 
With its luscious fruit of sunset hue, 

The fairest that ever were seen; 
The grape may have its bacchanal verse, 

To praise the fig we are free; 
But homage I pay to the queen of all, 

The glorious orange tree. 

1. J. K. Hoyt— The Orange Tree. 

The orange with the lime tree vies 
In shedding rich perfume. 
m. Maria James — Ode for the Fourth of 

July. 

Beneath some orange trees, 
Whose fruit and blossoms in the breeze 
Were wantoning together free, 
Like age at play with infancy. 
n. Moore — Lalla Rookh. Paradise and 

the Peri. 

Every orange-bud 
Hung languid o'er the crystal flood, 
Faint as the lids of maiden's eyes 
When love-thoughts in her bosom rise. 
o. Moore— I Stole Along the Flowery Bank. 

If I were yonder orange tree 

And thou the blossom blooming there, 
I would not yield a breath of thee 

To scent the most imploring air. 

p. Moore — If I Were Yonder Wave, My 

Bear. 

PALM. 

Phcenix Bactylifera. 

The palm-tree standeth so straight and so tall. 
The more the hail beats, and the more the 
rain falls. 
q. Longfellow — Annie of Thar aw. 

Trans, from the German of 
Simon Bach. 

Next to thee, O fair gazelle, 

O Beddowee girl, beloved so well; 

Next to the fearless Nedjidee, 

AVhose fieetness shall bear me again to thee; 

Next to ye both I love the Palm, 

With his leaves of beauty, his fruit of balm; 

Next to ye both I love the Tree 
Whose fluttering shadow wraps us three 
With love, and silence, and mystery! 
r. Bayard Taylor — The Arab to the Palm.

TREES AND PLANTS. 



There, in the wondering airs of the Tropics 
Shivers the Aspen, still dreaming of cold : 
There stretches the Oak, from the loftiest 

ledges, 
His arms to the far-away lands of his brothers, 
And the Pine-tree looks down on his rival 

the Palm. 

a. Bayard Taylor — Kilimandjaro. 

Pt. III. 

First the high Palme trees, with braunches 

faire, 
Out of the lowly vallies did arise, 
And high shoote up their heads into the skyes. 

b. Spenser — Virgil's Gnat. Line 191. 

Of threads of palm was the carpet spun 
Whereon he kneels when the day is done, 
And the foreheads of Islam are bowed as one! 

To him the palm is a gift divine, 
Wherein all uses of man combine, — 
House and raiment and food and wine! 

And, in th« hour of his great release, 
His need of the palm shall only cease 
With the shroud wherein he lieth in peace. 

"Allah il Allah!" he sings his psalm, 
On the Indian Sea, by the isles of balm : 
"Thanks to Allah, who gives the palm!" 

c. Whittteb — The Palm-Tree. 



PEAR. 

Pyrus Communis. 

I ask in vain 
Who planted on the slope this lofty group 
Of ancient pear trees that with spring-time 

burst 
Into such breadth of bloom. 

d. Bryant — Among the Trees. 

The great white pear-tree dropped with dew 

from leaves 
And blossom, under heavens of happy blue. 

e. Jean Ingelow — Songs iciih Preludes. 

Wedlock. 

PINE. 

Pinus. 

Shaggy shade 
Of desert-loving pine, whose emerald scalp 
Nods to the storm. 
/. Byron — The Prophecy of Dante. 

Canto II. Line 63. 

Risest from forth thy silent sea of pines. 
g. Colebldge — Hymn in the Vale of 

Chamouni. 

O solemn pines, now dark and still, 
When last I stood beneath your shade, 

Strange minstrels on their airy harps 
Among your trembling branches played. 
h. Julia C. R. Dorr — The Pine-Trees. 

The pines grow gray 
A little, in the biting wind. 
i. Helen Hunt — March. 



Like two cathedral towers these stately pines 
Uplift their fretted summits tipped with 

cones; 
The arch beneath them is not built with 

stones, 
Not Art but Nature traced these lovely 
lines, 
And carved this graceful arabesque of vines: 
No organ but the wind here sighs and 

moans, 
No sepulchre conceals a martyr's bones, 
No marble bishop on his tomb reclines. 
Enter! the pavement, carpeted with leaves, 
Gives back a softened echo to thy tread! 
Listen! the choir is singing; all the 
birds, 
In leafy galleries beneath the eaves, 

Are singing! listen, ere the sound be 

fled, 
And learn there may be worship without 
words. 
j. Longfellow — My Cathedral. 

The pine is the mother of legends. 

k. Lowell — An Indian-Summer Beverie. 

Arched walks of twilight groves, 
And shadows brown, that Sylvan loves, 
Of pine. 
1. Milton — II Penseroso. Line 133. 

Here also grew the rougher rinded Pine. 
The great Argoan ship's brave ornament. 
m . Spenser — Virgil's Gnat. Line 210. 

Ancient Pines, 
Ye bear no record of the years of man, 
Spring is your sole historian. 

n. Bayabd Taylor — The Pine Forest of 

Monterey. 

Stately Pines. 
But few more years around the promontory 
Your chant will meet the thunders of the sea. 
o. Bayard Taylor — Tfie Pine Foi-est of 

Monterey. 

POPLAR. 

Populus Fastigiata. 

Trees, that like the poplar, lift upward all 
their boughs, give no shade and no shelter, 
whatever their height. Trees the most lov- 
ingly shelter and shade us, when, Kkfl the 
willow, the higher soar their sumruiu the 
lower droop their boughs.

Of golden chalices to humming birds

A subtle red 
Of life is kindling every twig and stalk 
Of lowly meadow growths; the willows

They rest in God.

Embodied, thick, perform their mystic

Weep, weep: — and the watch thou keepest,

For the nature most undone, 
Marks the passing of the trial, 

Proves the presence of the sun.

And yet by such a fate prepared for heaven.

Thus understood belongs to every one. 

It owes its high prerogatives to none. 

It shines for all, as shines the blessed sun; 

It shines in all, who do not shut it out 

By dungeon doors of unbelief and doubt. 

To shine, it does not ask, O far from it, 

For hierarchal privilege and permit. 

Eabbi and priest may be chained down to 

lies, 
And babes and sucklings winged to mount 
the skies.

o. Henry IV. Pt. I. Act II. Sc. i. 

Methinks, the truth should live from age to 

age, 
As ^twere retail'd to all posterity, 
Even to the general all-ending day. 
p. Bichard III. Act HI. Sc. 1. 

Tell truth, and shame the devil 
J£ thou have power to raise him, bring him 

hither. 
And I'll be sworn, I have power to shame Lira 

hence. 
O, while you live, tell truth: and shame th& 
devil. 
q. Henry IV. Pt. I. Act HI. Sc. 1. 

That truth should be silent, I had almost 
forgot. 

r. Antony and Cleopatra. Act H. Sc. 2. 

They breathe truth, that breathe their 
words in pain. 

s. Bichard II. Act H. Sc. 1. 

'Tis not the many oaths that make the truth; 

But the plain single vow, that is vow'd true. 

t. All's Well That Ends Well. Act IV. 

Sc. 2. 

To thine own self be true ; 
And it must follow, as the night the day, 
Thou canst not then be false to any man.

Truth is truth 
To th' end of reckoning.

TWILIGHT. 

The sunbeams dropped 
Their gold, and, passing in porch and niche, 
Softened to shadows, silvery, pale, and dim, 
As if the very Day paused and grew Eve. 
g. Edwin Arnold — Light of Asia. Bk. H. 

Line 466. 

Fair Venus shines 
Even in the eve of day ; with sweetest beam 
Propitious shines, and shapes a trembling 

flood 
Of softened radiance from her dewey locks. 
h. Anna Letitia Barbauld — A Summer 
Evening's Meditation. 

See where the falling day 
In silence steals away 
Behind the western hills withdrawn: 
Her fires are quenched, her beauty fled, 
While blushes all her face o'erspread, 
As conscious she had ill fulfilled 
The promise of the dawn. 
i. Anna Letitia Barbauld — To-morrow. 

Parting day 
Dies like the dolphin, whom each pang* im- 
bues 
With a new colour as it gasps away, 
The last still loveliest, till — 'tis gone— and 
all is gray . 
j. Byron — Childe Harold. Canto IV. 

St. 29. 

Twas twilight, and the sunless day went 
down 
Over the waste of waters; like a veil, 
Which, if withdrawn, would but disclose the 
frown 
Of one whose hate is mask'd but to assail. 
k. Byron— Don Juan. Canto H. St. 49. 

How lovely are the portals of the night, 
When stars come out to watch the daylight 

die. 
I Thomas Cole — Twilight. 



Now the last red ray is gone; 
Now the twilight shadows hie. 
m. Susan Cooltdge — Angelus. 

Along the west the golden bars 

Still to a deeper glory grew; 
Above our heads the faint few stars 

Looked out from the unfathomed blue; 
And the fair city's clamorous jars 

Seemed melted in the evening hue. 

n. W. B. Glazier — Gape- Cottage at Sunset. 

In the twilight of morning to climb to the 

top of the mountain, — 
Thee to salute, kindly star, earliest herald of 

day,— 
And to await, with impatience, the gaze of 

the ruler of heaven. — 
Youthful delight, oh how oft lur'st thou me 

out in the night! 
o. Goethe — Venetian Epigrams. 

Sweet shadows of twilight! how calm their 

repose, 
While the dew drops fall soft in the breast of 

the rose! 
How blest to the toiler his hour of release 
When the vesper is heard with its whisper of 
peace! 
p. Holmes — Songs of Many Seasons. Our 
Banker. St. 12. 

The lengthening shadows wait 
The first pale stars of twilight. 

q. Holmes — Songs of Many Seasons. 

Even-Song. St. 6. 

Serenely the sun sank 
Down to his rest and twilight prevailed. 
r. Longfellow — Evangeline. Pt. L 1. 

The day was dying, and with feeble hands 
Caressed the mountain-tops; the vales be- 
tween 
Darkened; the river in the meadow-lands 
Sheathed itself as a sword, and was not 



seen. 
Longfellow — Monte Cassino. 



St 10. 



The sun is set; and in his latest beams 
Yon little cloud of ashen gray and gold, 
Slowly upon the amber air unrolled, 
The falling mantle of the Prophet seems. 
t. Longfellow — A Summer Lay by the 

Sea. 

The twilight is sad and cloudy, 

The wind blows wild and free, 
And like the wings of sea-birds 

Flash the white caps of the sea. 

u. Longfellow — Twilight. 

From that high mount of God whenee light

Spring both, the face of brightest Heaven

To grateful twilight.

Entwined in duskier wreaths her braided

o. Shelley — Alastor. 

Now the soft hour 
Of walking comes, for him who lonely loves 
To seek the distant hills, and there converse 
With nature; there to harmonize his heart, 
And in pathetic song to breathe around 
The harmony to others.

TYRANNY. 



TYRANNY. 



The old human fiends, 
With one foot in the grave, with dim eyes, 

strange 
To tears save drops of dotage, with long 

white 
And scanty hairs, and shaking hands, and 

heads 
As palsied as their hearts are hard, they 

council, 
Cabal, and put men's lives out, as if life 
"Were no more than the feelings long extin- 

guish'd 
In their accursed bosoms. 
a. Byron — The Two Foscari. Act II. 

Sc. 1. 

Think'st thou there is no tyranny but that 
Of blood and chains? The despotism of 

vice — 
The weakness and the wickedness of luxury — 
The negligence — the apathy — the evils 
Of sensual sloth — produce ten thousand 

tyrants, 
Whose delegated cruelty surpasses 
The worst acts of one energetic master, 
However harsh and hard in his own bearing. 
6. Byron— Sardanapalus. Act I. Sc. 2. 

Tyranny is far the worst of treasons. Dost 

thou deem 
None rebels except subjects? The prince 

who 
Neglects or violates his trust is more 
A brigand than the robber-chief. 

e. Byron — The Two Foscari. Act II. 

Sc. 1. 

What 
Are a few drops of human blood? — 'tis false, 
The blood of tyrants is not human; they 
Like to incarnate Molochs, feed on ours. 
Until 'tis time to give them to the tombs 
Which they have made so populous. — Oh 

world ! 
Oh men! what are ye, and our best designs, 
That we must work by crime to punish 

crime ? 

d. Byron — Marino Faliero. Act IY. 

Sc. 2. 

He who strikes terror into others is him- 
self in continual fear. 

e. Ciatjdianus. 

Of all the evils that infest a state, 
A tyrant is the greatest: there the laws 
Hold not one common tenor; his sole will 
Commands the laws, and lords it over them. 
/. Euripides — Supp. 429. 

Necessity, 
The tyrant's plea, excused his devilish deeds. 
g. Milton— Paradise Lost. Bk. IV. 

Line 393. 

O mighty father of the gock! when once 
dire lust, dyed with raging poison, has fired 
their minds, vouchsafe to punish cruel 
tyrants in no other way than this, that they 
see virtue and pine away at having forsaken 
her. 

h. Persius. 



Power exercised with violence has seldom 
been of long duration, but temper and mod- 
eration generally produce permanence in all

The most imperious masters over their

abject slaves to the servants of other masters.

Bleed, bleed, poor country! 
Great tyranny, lay thou thy basis sure, 
For goodness dares not check thee! 
k. Macbeth. Act IV. Sc. 3. 

For what is he they follow ? truly gentlemen 

A bloody tyrant, and a homicide: 

One rais'd in blood, and one in blood estab-

One that made means to come by what he 
hath, 

And slaughter'd those that were the means to 
help him; 

A base foul stone, made precious bv the 
foil 

Of England's chair, where he is falsely set; 

One that hath ever been God's enemy.

Man's Unhappiness, as I construe, comes

might. It is the truth shining from behind 
that gives the strength to disbelieve.

Our Union is river, lake, ocean, and sky:

In the brave days of old.

So we grew together, 
Like to a double cherry, seeming parted,

Due but to one, and crowned with one crest.

VALENTINE'S DAY. 

On paper curiously shaped 
Scribblers to-day of every sort, 
In verses Valentines y'clep'd, 
To Venus chime their annual court. 
I too will swell the motley throng, 
And greet the all auspicious day, 
Whose privilege permits my song, 
My love thus secret to convey. 

e. Heney C. Bohn —MS.; Dictionary of 
Poetical Quotations. Valentines. 

Oft have I heard both youths and virgins 

say, 
Birds choose their mates, and couple to this 

day; 
But by their flight I never can devine 
When I shall couple with my valentine. 

d. Hekeick — Amatory Odes. 188. 

No popular respect will I omit 
To do the honour on this happy day, 
When every loyal lover tasks his wit 
His simple truth in studious rhymes to pay, 
And to his mistress dear his hopes convey. 
Rather than know it I would still outrun 
All calendars with Love's, whose date alway 
Thy bright eyes govern better than the sun, 
For with thy favour was my life begun: 
And still I reckon on from smiles to smiles, 
And not by Summers, for I thrive on none 
But those thy cheerful countenance compiles. 
Oh! if it be to choose and call thee mine 
Love, thou art every day my Valentine! 

e. Hood — Sonnet. For the lith of 

February. 

Oh ! cruel heart ! ere these posthumous 
papers 
Have met thine eyes, I shall be out of 
breath; 
Those cruel eyes, like two funereal tapers, 
Have only lighted me the way to death. 
Perchance thou wilt extinguish them in 
vapours, 
When I am gone, and green grass covereth 
Thy lover, lost; but it will be in vain — 
It will not bring the vital spark again. 
/. Hood — A Valentine. 

Hail to thy returning festival, old Bishop 
Valentine! Great is thy name in the rubric. 
Like unto thee, assuredly, there is no other 
mitred father in the calendar.

And awaken'd the witty and fair;

And cockneys and sparrows are singing 
In chorus on Valentine's day.

j. Hamlet. Act IV. Sc. 5. 

The fourteenth of February is a day sacred 
to St. Valentine! It was a very odd notion, 
alluded to by Shakespeare, that on this day

He's truly valiant, that can wisely suffer 
The worst that man can breathe; and make

And ne'er prefer his injuries to his heart, 
To bring it into danger. 

a. Timon of Athens. Act III. Sc. 5. 

Methought, he bore him in the thickest

And only change the expiring flame renews. 
to. Gay — Epistles. 



Countless the various species of mankind, 
Countless the shades which sep'rate mind

No general object of desire is known, 
Each, has his will, and each pursues his own. 
n. Gutord— Perseus. 

Wherefore did Nature pour her bounties 

forth 
With such a full and unwithdrawing hand, 
Covering the earth with odours, fruits, and 

flocks, 
Thronging the seas with spawn innumerable, 
But all to please and sate the curious taste? 
o. Milton — Comus- Line 710. 

The groves of Eden, vanish'd now so long, 
Live in description, and look green in song: 
These, were my breast inspir'd with equal 

flame, 
Like them in beauty, should be like in fame. 
Here hills and vales, the woodland and the 

plain, 
Here earth and water seem to strive agaiD ; 
Not chaos-like together crush'd and bruis'd, 
But, as the world, harmoniously confus'd, 
Where order in variety we see, 
And where, though all things differ, all 

agree. 
p. Pope — Windsor Forest. Line 13.

VERSATILITY. 

So well she acted all and every part 

By turns — with that vivacious versatility, 
Which many people take for want of heart. 
They err — 'tis merely what is call'd mobil-

A thing of temperament and not of art, 
Though seeming so, from its supposed 
facility ; 
And false — though true; for surely they're 

sfncerest 
Who are strongly acted on by what is nearest,

and must ask of knowledge to show her the 
pathway that leads to her goal.

By her own radiant light, though sun and

Surprised by unjust force, but not enthralled; 
Yea, even that which mischief meant most 

harm 
Shall in the happy trial prove most glory. 

e. Milton — Comus. Line 589. 

Let this great maxim be my virtue's guide;

Virtue is to herself the best reward.

As for you, I shall advise you in a few

the other.

k. Pope — Essay on Man. Ep. IV. 

Line 149. 

Court-virtues bear, like Gems, the highest 

rate, 
Born where Heav'n's influence scarce can 

penetrate: 
In life's low vale, the soil the Virtues like, 
They please as beauties, here as wonders 

strike. 
Tho' the same Sun with all diffusive rays 
Blush in the Hose, and in the Di'mond blaze, 
We prize the stronger effort of his pow'r, 
And justly set the Gem above the Flow'r. 
I. Pope— Moral Essays. Ep.I. Line 141.

The saint sustain'd it, but the woman died. 
r. ~Pope— Epitaph VI. 

Virtue may choose the high or low Degree,

He likewise gives a frock, or livery, 
That aptly is put on.

Wealth brings noble opportunities, and 
competence is a proper object of pursuit,

bought at too high a price. Wealth itself

all evil. It is the relation between _ wealth

Sir, you are very welcome to our house :

Half so delightful as a wife;

She could not think, but would not cease to 
speak.

But what so pure, which envious tongues 
will spare ? 

Some wicked wits have libell'd all the fair. 

With matchless impudence they style a wife 

The dear-bought curse, and lawful plague of 
life; 

A bosom-serpent, a domestic evil, 

A night-invasion and a mid-day-devil. 

Let not the wife these sland'rous words re- 
gard, 

But curse the bones of ev'ry living bard, 
u. Pope — January and May. Line 43. 

A light wife doth make a heavy husband. 
w. Merchant of Venice. Act V. Sc. 1.

I would you had her spirit in such another; 
The third o' the world is yours; which, with 

a snaffle 
You may pace easy, but not such a wife. 
x. Antony and Cleopatra. Act H. Sc. 2. 

Rappy in this, she is not yet so old

Commits itself to yours to be directed.

A love still burning upward, giving light 
To read those laws; an accent very low 
In blandishment, but a most silver flow 
Of subtle-paced counsel in distress, 
Bight to the heart and brain, tho' andescried, 
Winning its way with extreme gentleness 
Thro' all the outworks of suspicious pride; 
A courage to endure and to obey: 
A hate of gossip parlance and of sway, 
Crown'd Isabel, thro all her placid life, 
The queen of marriage, 
A most perfect wife.

Ay, thou art welcome, heaven's delicious 
breath! 
When woods begin to wear the crimson 

leaf, 
And suns grow meek, and the meek suns 
grow brief, 
And the year smiles as it draws near its 

death. 
Wind of the sunny south! oh, still delay 
In the gay woods and in the golden air, 
Like to a good old age released from 
care, 
Journeying, in long serenity, away.

WIND. 



The faint old man shall lean his silver head 

To feel thee; thou shalt kiss the child 

asleep, 

And dry the moistened curls that overspread 

His temples, -while his breathing grows 

more deep. 

a. Bryant — The Evening Wind. 

Where hast thou wandered, gentle gale, to 
find 
The perfumes thou dost bring ? 
By brooks, that through the winding meadows 
wind, 
Or brink of rushy spring? 
Or woodside, where, in little companies, 

The early wild flowers rise, 
Or sheltered lawn, where, mid encircling 
trees, 
May's warmest sunshine lies? 

b. Bryant — May Evening. St. 2. 

Wind of the sunny south! oh, still delay, 
In the gay woods and in the golden air, 
Like to a good old age released from 
care, 
Journeying, in long serenity, away. 
In such a bright, late quiet, would that I 
Might wear out life like thee, mid bowers 

and brooks, 
And dearer yet the sunshine of kind 
looks, 
And music of kind voices ever nigh; 
And when my last sand twinkled in the 

glass, 
Pass silently from men as thou dost pass. 

c. Beyant — October. 

At midnight, while reposing on my couch. 
.Sis stealthy hand came feeling at my door 
And at the lattice, till the frozen glass 
Pealed out like bells held in the fairy hands 
Which wrote the flourishes in frost-work 

there; 
Thrusting his arm through every open pane, 
Battling the blinds, and scaring sleej) 

away — 
Piping a low base on the chimney's flute, 
Unhinging careless gates, and swinging signs, 
And with his lips upon a thousand tubes 
At once, blew a loud universal blast. 

d. GeoegeW. Bungay — The Nigld Wind. 

Winds come whispering lightly from the 

west, 
Kissing; not ruffling, the blue deep's serene.

A wet sheet and a flowing sea, 

A wind that follows fast, 
And fills the white and rustling sail, 

And bends the gallant mast. 

k. Cunningham — A Wet Sheet and a 

Flowing Sea. 

The winds that never moderation knew, 
Afraid to blow too much, too faintly blew; 
Or out of breath with joy, could not enlarge 
Their straighten'd lungs, or conscious of 
their charge. 
I. DRXDYX—Astrcea Redux. Line 242. 

Perhaps the wind 
Wails so in winter for the summer's dead, 
And all sad sounds are nature's funeral cries 
For what has been and is not.

And all things grow calm as the strain floats

Playing celestial symphonies; 
I see the branches downward bent, 
Like keys of some great instrument. 
r. Longfellow — A Bay of Sunshine. 

The wind is rising; it seizes and shakes 
The doors and window-blinds, and makes 
Mysterious moanings in the halis: 
The convent-chimneys seem almost 
The trumpets of some heavenly host. 
Setting its watch upon our walls!

To timely sleep.

What cannot wine perform ? It brings to light

Gives being to our hopes, and from our hearts 
Drives the dull sorrow, and inspires new arts. 
Is there a mith whom bumpers have not taught 
A flow of words, a loftiness of thought? 
Even in th' oppressive grasp of poverty 
It can enlarge, and bid the soul be free.

o. Milton — Comus. Line 375. 

Yet some there be that by due steps aspire 
To lay their just hands on that golden key ; 
That opes the palace of eternity. 
p. Milton — Comus. Line 12. 

Wisdom, slow product of laborious years, 
The only fruit that life's cold winter bears. 
Thy sacred seeds in vain in youth we lay, 
By the fierce storm of passion torn away; 
Should some remain in a rich gen'rous soil, 
They long lie hid, and must be rais'd with 

toil; 
Faintly they struggle with inclement skies, 
No sooner born than the poor planter dies. 
q. Ladx Montagu — Written at Louvere. 

1755. 

The most certain sign of wisdom is a con- 
tinual cheerfulness; her state is like that of 
things in the regions above the moon, always 
clear and serene. 

r. Montaigne — Essays. Bk. I. 

Ch. XXV. 

When swelling buds their od'rous foliage 

shed, 
And gently harden into fruit, the wise 
Spare not the little offsprings, if they grow 
Bedundant. 

s. John Philips — Cider. Bk. I. 

Tell (if you can) what is it to be wise ? 
'Tis but to know how little can be known, 
To see all other's faults, and feel our own.

Line 260. 

Our wisdom is no less at fortune's mercy 
than our wealth. 
u. Rochefoucauld. 

A wise man in the company of those who 
are ignorant has been compared by the sages 
to a beautiful girl in the company of blind 
men. 

v. Saadi. 

He who learns the rules of wisdom, with- 
out conforming to them in his life, is like a 
man who laboured in his fields, but did not 
sow. 

w. Saadi. 

I am a sage, and can command the elements — 
At least men think I can. 
x. Scott — Quentin Durward. Ch. XIII. 

Wisdom does not show itself so much in 
precept as in life — in a firmness of mind and 
mastery of appetite. It teaches us to do, as 
well as to talk; and to make our actions and 
words all of a color. 

y. Seneca.

But cheerty seek how to redress their harms.

You are wise, 
Or else you love not; For to be wise and

As for me, all I know is that I know nothing.

seated.

o. Tennyson— In Memoriam. Pt. CVII. 



Wisdom sits alone, 
Topmost in heaven: — she is its light — its 

God; 
And in the heart of man she sits as high — 
Though grovelling eyes forget her oftentimes, 
Seeing but this world's idols. The pure 

mind 
Sees her forever: and in youth we come 
Fill'd with her sainted ravishment, and 

kneel, 
Worshipping God through her sweet altar 

fires, 
And then is knowledge " good." 
p. Willis — The Scholar of Thebel. Ben 
Khorat. Pt. II. 

Wisdom is oft times nearer when we stoop 
Than when we soar.

Wisdom married to immortal verse. 

r. Wordsworth — The Excursion. 

Bk. vn. 

Wisdom is the only thing which can re- 
lieve us from the sway of the passions and

to bear the injuries of fortune itself with 
moderation, and which shows us all the ways 
which lead to tranquility and peace. 

s. Yonge's Cicero. Be Finibus. Bk. I.

But for one woman who affronts her kind 
By wicked passions and remorseless hate, 
A thousand make amends in age and youth, 
By heavenly pity, by sweet sympathy, 
By patient kindness, by enduring truth, 
By love, supremest in adversity.

our actions, and as far from speaking ill as 
from doing ili. 

n. Ciceko. 

Words are freeborn, and not the vassals of 
the gruff tyrants of prose to do their bidding 
only. They have the same right to dance 
and sing, as the dew drops have to sparkle, 
and the stars to shine. 

o. Abraham Coles — The Evangel. 

Introduction. 

Words indeed are but the signs and coun-

be strictly regulated by the capital which 
they represent.

There is no point where art so nearly 
touches nature as when it appears in the 
form of words. 

/. Holland — Plain Talks on Familiar 

Subjects. Art and Life. 

Words * * * are not only the highest 
representatives of thought and life, but they 
are the representatives, the sources, the ex- 
pounders, and the preservers of all that is 
highest in picture and sculpture. 

g. Holland — Plain Talks on Familiar 

Subjects. Art and Life. 

Long in the field of words we may contend, 
Reproach is infinite, and knows no end, 
Arm'd or with truth or falsehood, right or 

wrong; 
So valuable a weapon is the tongue; 
Wounded, we wound; and neither side can 

fail, 
For every man has equal strength to rail: 
Women alone, when in the streets they jar, 
Perhaps excel us in this wordy war ; 
Like us they stand, encompass'd with the 

crowd, 
And vent their anger, impotent and loud. 
h. Pope's Homer's Piad. Bk . XX.

Is controll'd by the words he disdains to con- 
trol, 
o. Owen Meredith — Lucile. Pt. I.

Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.

WORK. 

By the way, 
The works of women are symbolical. 
We sew, sew, prick our fingers, dull our 

sight, 
Producing what ? A pair of slippers, sir 
To put on when you're weary — or a stool 
To tumble over and vex you . . . curse tha'; 

stool!' 
Or else at best, a cushion where you lean 
And sleep, and dream of something we are 

not, 
But would be for your sake. Alas, alas! 
This hurts most, this . . that, after all, we 

are paid 
The worth of our work, perhaps.

YOUTH. 

Youth dreams a bliss on this side death. 

It dreams a rest, if not more deep, 

More grateful than this marble sleep ; 

It hears a voice within it tell : 

Calm's not life's crown, though calm is well. 

'Tis all perhaps which man acquires, 

But 'tis not what our youth desires .

Line 19.

There is nothing can equal the tender hours 

When life is first in bloom, 

When the heart like a bee, in a wild of 

flowers, 
Finds everywhere perfume; 
When the present is all and it questions not 
If those flowers shall pass away, 
But pleas'd with its own delightful lot, 
Dreams never of decay.

Youth is to all the glad season of life; but

attains, or what it escapes.

The morning of life is like the dawn of 
day, full of purity, of imagery, and harmony. 
h. Chateaubriand. 

As I approve of a youth that has something

The scorching dog-star and the winter's air, 
While the rich infant, nurs'd with care and 

pain, 
Thirsts with each heat and coughs with every 

rain! 
s. Gay — Trivia. Bk. II. Line 165. 

Fair laughs the morn, and soft the zephyr 
blows, 
While proudly rising o'er the azure realm. 
In gallant trim the gilded vesssl goes, 
Youth on the prow, and pleasure at the 

helm. 
t. Gray— The Bard. Pt. H. St 2. 

The insect-youth are on the wing, 
Eager to taste the honied spring, 
And float amid the liquid noon. 
u. Gray— Ode on the Spring. St. 111.

YOUTH. 



YOUTH. 



437 



There is a feeling of Eternity in youth 
which makes us amends for everything. To 
be young is to be as one of the Immortals. 

a. Hazlitt — Table Talk. The Feeling of 

Immortality in Youth. 

Youth! youth! how buoyant are thy hopes! 

they turn 
Like marigolds toward the sunny side. 

b. Jean Ingelow — The Four Bridges. 

St. 56. 

How beautiful is youth! how bright it gleams 
With its illusions, aspirations, dreams! 
Book of Beginnings, Story without End, 
Each maid a heroine, and each man a friend! 

c. Longfellow — Morituri Salutamus. 

Line 66. 

Rise, O youth, and wrestle with me! 

d. Longfellow — Hiawatha. Pt. V. 

Standing with reluctant feet, 
Where the brook and river meet, 
Womanhood and childhood fleet! 

e. Longfellow — Maidenhood. 

Youth comes but once in a lifetime. 
/. Longfellow — Hyperion. Bk. II. 

Ch. X. 

Every street has two sides, the shady side . 
and the sunny. When two men shake hands 
and part, mark which of the two takes the 
sunny side; he will be the younger man of 
the two. 

g. Bulwer-Lytton — What Will He Bo 
With It ? Bk. II. Ch. XV. 

Whose youth has paused not, dreaming in 
the vale 
Where the rathe violets dwell ? 
h. Bulwer-Lytton — The First Violets. 

Youth, that pursuest with such eager face 

Thy even way, 
Thou pantest on to win a mournful race : 

Then stay! oh, stay! 
Pause and luxuriate in thy sunny plain ; 

Loiter, — enjoy: 
Once past, Thou never wilt come back again, 

A second Boy. 
i. Milnes — Youth. That Pursuest. 

'Tis now the summer of your youth : time 
has not cropt the roses from your cheek, 
though sorrow long has washed them. 

j. Edwarb Mooee — The Gamester. 

Act IH. Sc. 4. 

He felt, with indescribable strength and 
sweetness, that the lovely time of youth is 
our Italy and Greece, full of gods, temples, 
and bliss; and which, alas! so often Goths 
and Vandals stalk through, and strip with 
their talons. 

k. Eichteb. 

The youth of the soul is everlasting and 
eternity is youth. 
I. Richter. 



Youth is a continual intoxication; it is the 
fever of reason. 

m. Rochefoucauld. 

Behold, my lords, 
Although the print be little, the whole 

matter 
And copy of the father: eye, nose, lip, 
The trick of his frown, his forehead; nay, 

the valley, 
The pretty dimples of his chin and cheek; 

his smiles; 
The very mould and frame of hand, nail, 

finger. 
n. Winter's Tale. Act II. Sc. 3. 

Crabbed age and youth cannot live together. 
Youth is full of pleasance, age is full of care; 
Youth like summer morn, age like winter 

weather, 
Youth like summer brave, age like winter 

bare. 
Youth is full of sport, age's breath is short, 
Youth is nimble, age is lame; 
Youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold^ 
Youth is wild and age is tame. 
Age, I do abhor thee, youth, I do adore thee, 
o. The Passionate Pilgrim. St. 12. 

He wears the roses of youth upon him. 
p. Antony and Cleopatra. Act III. Sc. 2.-. 

In the very May-morn of his youth, 
Ripe for exploits and mighty enterprises. 
q. King Henry V. Act I . Sc. 2 . 

So wise, so young, they say, do ne'er live' 
long. 
r. Richard III Act III. Sc. 1 . 

The spirit of youth, 
That means to be of note, begins betimes. 
s. Antony and Cleopatra. Act IV. Sc. & 

Hail, blooming Youth! 

May all your virtues with your years im- 
prove, 
Till in consummate worth you shine the 

pride 
Of these our days, and succeeding times 
A bright example. 
t. Sqmervttj.f, — The Chase. Bk. HI. 

Line 389. 

Youth should be a savings-bank. 
u. Madame Swetchtne. 

To be young was very Heaven! 
v. Wordsworth — The Prelude. Bk. XL 

Youth is not rich in time ; it may be poor; 
Part with it as with money, sparing; pay 
No moment, but in purchase of its worth, 
And what it's worth, ask death-beds; they 
can tell. 
w. Young — Night Thoughts. Night II.

ZEAL. 



ZEPHYRS. 



z. 



ZEAL. 

There is no greater sign of a general decay 
of virtue in a nation, than a want of zeal in 
its inhabitants for the good of their country. 

a. Addison — Freeholder. No. 5. 

Never let your zeal outrun your charity; 
the former is but human, the latter is 
divine. 

b. Hosea Ballou — MSS. Sermons. 

Through zeal knowledge is gotten, through 
lack of zeal knowledge is lost; let a man who 
knows this double path of gain and loss thus 
place himself that knowledge may grow. 

c. Buddha. 

There is a holy mistaken zeal in politics 
as well as religion. By persuading others 
we convince ourselves. 

d. Junius. 

A Spirit, zealous, as he seemed, to know 
More of the Almighty's works, and chiefly 

Man, 
God's latest image. 

e. Milton — Paradise Lost. Bk. IV. 

Line 565. 

His zeal 
None seconded, as out of season judged, 
Or singular and rash. 
/. Milton— Paradise Lost. Bk. V. 

Line 849. 

Zeal moved thee; 
To please thy gods thou didst it! 
g. Milton — Samson Agonistes. Line 895. 

So shall they build me altars in their zeal, 
Where knaves shall minister, and fools shall 

kneel; 
Where Faith may mutter o'er her mystic 

spell, 
Written in blood— and Bigotry may swell 
The sail he spreads for Heav'n with blasts 

from hell ! 
h. Mooee — Lalla Rookh. Veiled Prophet 
of Khorassan. 

Zeal is very blind, or badly regulated, 
when it encroaches upon the rights of 
others. 

i. Pasqutek Quesnel. 

I have more Zeal than Wit. 

i. Pope — Imitations of Horace. Bk. II. 

Satire VI. Line 56. 

Poets heap Virtues, Painters Gems at will, 
And shew their zeal, and hide their want of 
skill. 
k- Pope — Moral Essays. Ep. H. 

Line 185. 



Zeal then, not charity, became the guide. 
I. Pope — Essay on Man. Ep. III. 

Line 261. 

We do that in our Zeal our calmer moment 
would be afraid to answer. 

m. Scott — Woodstock. Ch. XVII. 

Press bravely onward! — not in vain 
Your generous trust in human kind; 

The good which bloodshed could not gain 
Your peaceful zeal shall find. 
n. WuriTiEK — To the Reformers of 

England. 

ZEPHYRS. 

Fair laughs the morn, and soft the zephyr 
blows, 
o. Gkat — The Bard. 

And soon 
Their hushing dances languished to a stand. 
Like midnight leaves when, as the zephyrs 

swoon, 
All on their drooping stems they sink un- 
fanned. 
p. Hood — The Plea of the Midsummer 

Fairies. 

What joy have I in June's return ? 

My feet are parched — my eyeballs burn, 
I scent no flowery gust; 

But faint the flagging Zephyr springs, 

With dry Macadam on its wings, 
And turns me " dust to dust." 
q. Hood — Ode Imitated from Horace. 

Lull'd by soft Zephyrs thro' the broken pane. 
r. Pope — Prologue to Satires. Line 42. 

No grateful dews descend from ev'ning skies, 
Nor morning odours from the flow'rs arise; 
No rich perfumes refresh the fruitful field, 
Nor fragrant herbs their native incense yield, 
The balmy Zephyrs, silent since her death, 
Lament the ceasing of a sweeter breath. 
s. Pope — Winter. Line 45. 

Soften'd sounds along the waters die; 
Smooth flow the waves, the zephyrs gently 
play. 
t. Pope — Rape of the Lock. Line 50. 

Soft is the strain when Zephyr gently blows. 
u. Pope — Essay on Criticism. Line 366. 

Soft o'er the shrouds aerial whispers breathe, 
That seemed but zephyrs to the train be- 
neath. 
v. Pope — Rape of the Lock. Line 58. 

They are as gentle 
As zephyrs, blowing below the violet.

Inspicitur virtus, quicquid landamus in ullo

Qui imperium credit gravius esse aut sta-

Vi quod fit, quam illud quod amicitia 
adjungitur.

that a government is more firm or assured,

be needed ; it is much more than a dictionary." 

Prof, diaries E. JIutiroe (formerly chemist to the Torpedo Corps of the V. S. Navy), Washing- 
ton, D.C., June 28, 1894: "lean not speak in too high terms of praise of the fulness, accuracy, and complete- 
ness of the Standard Dictionary, or of the sumptuous manner in which the book is produced^ 

Everything about the work fully justifies the title 'Standard ' so fitly given it." 



Oxford University, England, A. H. Sayce,

all the encomia passed upon it." 

Yale University, Timothy Dwight, President: 
" I value the Standard Dictionary very highly." 

Yale University, A. M. Wheeler, Professor of 
History: "Clear, concise, accurate, comprehensive; 
at once scholarly and popular; admirably arranged,

the mind — what more can one ask in the" way of a 
Dictionary?" 

Harvard University, Clement L. Smith, Pro- 
fessor of Latin: " I anticipate great satisfaction from 
the use of the work for many years to come." 

Harvard University, N. S. Shaler, Professor

W agnails are to be heartily congratulated on the fine 
appearance of Volume I. of their Standard Dictionary. 
It will find a wide field of usefulness." 

Johns Hopkins University, Prof. Edw. 
H. Spieker: "I am pleased with the book in every 
way. ... I am already convinced of its superiority. 
It deserves to become what it has been fittingly named 
— ' The Standard Dictionary.' " 



Johns Hopkins University, William 
Hande Browne, Professor of English Literature : 
" Though Volume I. has been but a few days on my 
shelves, it has already been installed as the household 
oracle." 

Columbia College, New York, T. Mitchell 
Prudden, M.D., Professor of Pathology: "A note- 
worthy achievement in art, as well as in letters." 

Columbia College, Henry A. Todd, Ph.D., 
Professor of Romance Pnilology : " I am exceedingly- 
pleased with its fulness, condensation, accuracy, and 
completeness, while its mechanical execution is a de- 
light to the artistic sense." 

Columbia College, Prof. Reginald Gordon; 
"Its comprehensive scope within so compact a form 
makes it an invaluable assistant for study or refer- 
ence." 

College of New Jersey, Princeton, N. J.,

ress that has been made in the publication of this- 
work, and congratulate the editors very sincerely upon. 
this valuable contribution to English lexicography." . 

Princeton College, Prof. George Macloskie : 
"Am more than pleased with binding, paper, typog- 
raphy, and especially with the fulness and accuracy 
of the information which it conveys. In my own de- 
partment of science [Biology] I see that it is weli np 
to date, and that its definitions are clear and perfectly 
reliable; and I am satisfied that it will take its place 
as the best dictionary of our language." 



Late Professor Andrew Preston Peabody, Harvard University: " It will prove of 

tnvaluable service, and icill last ivhile the English language remains essentially un- 
changed."

nificent, monumental success. . . . My confident 
impression is that the editors have produced the 
standard dictionary." 

Brown University, Providence, K. I., E. 
Benjamin Andrews, President: "I believe that this 
dictionary essentially fulfils the high ideal of its pro- 
jectors. It is an out-and-out new product, and not, 
like our old dictionaries, the result of patching and 
amendment, little by little, the different pieces often 
added by many, many minds." 

College of the City of New York, F. H. 

Stoddard, Professor of English Language and Litera- 
ture: "I have examined it with great interest and 
satisfaction. The book is an exceedingly useful one,

amount of condensed brain-work it represents ! It 
sparkles with nuggets of golden thoughts, and will 
prove a blessing to the civilized world." 

Yanderbilt University, W. M. Baskervill, 
Professor of Latin Language and Literature: "It is 
multum in parvo. Scholarly, scientific, accurate, 
comprehensive, full, it will meet the wants of all 
classes. It is easy to see that it will become the great 
single-volume dictionary of the English language." 

Yanderbilt University, Charles Foster 
Smith, Professor of Greek Language and Literature : 
"I was not fully prepared to expect such beautiful 
■work either on the inside or on the outside of the dic- 
tionary. Every special feature of the work that I have 
examined has proved more thorough and excellent 
than I had anticipated. I believe that it ought to be, 
and will be, the people's English dictionary."" 

Woodstock College (Roman Catholic), 
Rene Isadore Holaind, Professor of Ethics and Soci- 
ology: "Our professors often open the first volume 
and express their delight at finding words that are 
wanting in the best lexicons. Next to its complete- 
ness and reliability, the beauty of its illustrations is 
the subject of the most favorable comments of the 
centlemen who compose the college staff." 

Columbian University, F. H. Knowlton, 
Professor of Botany, Washington, D. C, Curator of 
Botany, United States National Museum, Washington : 
" I am pleased beyond expression with it. The Stand- 
ard is far superior to any single-volume dictionary 
and indeed many persons have said to me that they 
would rather have it than the Century." 

"Washington and Uee University, James 
A. Harrison, Professor of Modern Languages and 
English : " The book far surpasses my expectations, 
which were very high. It is a miracle of combined 
fulness and condensation." 

Cornell University, Professor Duncan Camp- 
bell Lee: " The first volume of the Standard Diction- 
ary I have examined carefully: I find it of great value. 
For the teacher and the student it possesses a practical 
utility, unique and pleasing;, then, too. the fact that it 
represents original research and investigation, and is 
in no sense a compilation, makes the use of it refresh- 
ing and inspiring. I predict for it a general, if not 
universal, acceptance." 

University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, 
Thomas M. Cooley, Professor of Law: "The me- 
chanical execution "is admirable; I think it justifies its 
name — Standard. I congratulate the publishers and 
the editors very heartily on their great success." 1 . 



University of Virginia, A. M. Scheie De 
Vere, Professor of Modern Languages : "A truly 
magnificent volume — a grand and noble work." 

Wellesley College, Prof. Wm. H. Willcox: 
" The amount of work that must have been put into 
it is simply amazing, while the condensation that has 
brought the results of that work into ready appropria- 
tion grows more and more wonderful as my familiarity 
with the work Increases." 

Uafayette College, Easton, Pa., F. A. March, 
Consulting Editor of Standard Dictionary, Professor 
English Language and Comparative Philology: "It 
is a book of which any publisher may well be proud." 

South Carolina College, Edward S. Joynes,

language and lexicography." 

Gettysburg Seminary, Gettysburg, Pa., E. J. 
Wolf, D.D.: "I have nothing in my library which I 
prize more highly." 



Ohio Wesleyan University, J. W. 

ford, President: " One learns the pronunciation and 
meaning of a word with much greater ease from the 
' Standard Dictionary ' than from the Century, as these 
are the two chief objects in consulting a dictionary. 
The Standard on these two grounds alone seems to be 
of more value to a busy man than its more costly 
rival." 

Vassar College, W. B. Dwight, Professor of 
Natural History and Curator of Museum: "There 
can be no hesitation in saying that it is the most com- 
plete, scholarly, advanced, and remarkable book of its 
kind ever issued; and that it is not only an honor to < 
its publishers, but to the nation." 

Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, N. Y., M. W. Plum- 
mer, Librarian: " The Free Library of Pratt Insti- 
tute after several months' use of the ' Standard Diction- 
ary,' finds that it has many features not found in other 
dictionaries, and that these are of great value to the 
Reference Department of the Library." 

Amherst College, Julius H. Seelye, ex-Presi- 
dent: "I have examined Volume I. of the Standard 
Dictionary with care and with great satisfaction. It 
is worthy of its name, and I congratulate the editors 
upon having so successfully attained their very high 
ideal." 

University of Pennsylvania, Professor 
Daniel G. Brinton, LL.D.: "I have now had time to 
examine closely the first volume of the Standard 
Dictionary. Its luminous arrangement and excellent 
typographical display impress me more and more the 
longer I have it by me. Some of the modern diction- 
aries are so bulky and redundant that they are not 
suited to daily household and business use ; others 
are based upon antiquated etymologies and definitions, 
which it seems impossible tor them to outgrow; others 
again show clearly the effect of hasty compilation and 
incomplete scholarship. The Standard Dictionary is 
conspicuously free from these drawbacks, and it can; 
notf ail to command the approval'and admiration of the 
enlightened english-speaking public the world over." 

University of Missouri, G. C. Broadhead, 
Professor of Geology and Mineralogy: "lvalue the 
Standard Dictionary very much, it "is no doubt an 
improvement on many others, better than the Century, 
and illustrations are of the best. " 

Lenox College, A. G. Wilson, President: "la 
the plan of the work, in the accuracy of derivation, in 
the clearness of definition, in the common-sense rules 
that govern the spelling and pronunciation, in the 
helpful illustrations, and in the mechanical execution, 
the work is unsurpassed; its attractiveness, complete- 
ness and value, grow with every examination." 



Professor John T. Duffield, College of New Jersey, Princeton : " It [The Standard. 
Dictionary] will be conspicuous among the enduring monuments of intellectual life 
at the close of the 19th Century. . . . For comprehensiveness of vocabulary, accuracy/ 
of definition, judicious arrangement of material, instructive illustration and ad- 
mirable typography, it is superior to any other work of its class, and ere long iciU 
supersede them, and be recognized as the Standard Dictionary." 



Professor William Clark, of Trinity College, Toronto : "J have compared 
a good many articles with the corresponding ones in the best dictionaries 
which I possess, and. find them, in almost every case, fuller, clearer, and more 
satisfactory." r 

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES. 



I. It contains the most complete vocab- 
ulary of any dictionary ever published. 
The total number of words and phrases 
recorded under "A" in the five leading 
dictionaries are, by actual count, as fol- 
lows 

Stormonth, total terms in A, . 4,692 

Worcester, total terms in A, . . 6,983 

Webster (Internat'l),total terms in A, 8,358 
Century, total terms in A, . 15,621 

Standard, total terms in A, . 19,736 

The full number of words and terms in 

these dictionaries for the entire alphabet 

is as follows : 

Stormonth, 50,000 

Worcester, 105,000 

Webster (International), . . . 125,000 
Century (six volumes, complete), . 225,000 
Standard, .... over 300,000 

II. It combines the scholarship of the 
largest number of editors and specialists 
ever employed on any dictionary. The 
number employed on the Standard was 
247, against 81 on the Century, 41 on 
Webster's International, and 18 on Wor- 
cester's. 

III. The average cost per page of the 
Standard Dictionary was three times as 
great as that of any other dictionary ever 
issued, because of the large number of 
literary and scientific experts employed, 
the introduction of new features, and the 
unusual care taken to avoid errors. 

IV. In the Definition of Words the 
most common meaning is given first, and 
the archaic and obsolete meanings are 
given last ; that is, preference is given to 
the "order of usage" over the historical 
order so generally followed heretofore in 
dictionary-making. 

V. The Etymology and Variant Forms 
of a word are placed after the definition, 
so that the reader who is looking for the 
most common present meaning is not 
confused by having to read first the his- 
tory and genealogy of the word. 

VI. It is the most complete and accu- 
rate dictionary of Synonyms published, 
and includes Antonyms as well as Syno- 
nyms. 

VII. For the first time in a dictionary 
a serious attempt has been made to re- 
duce to a system the Compounding of 
Words. 

VIII. Disputed Pronunciations and Spell- 
ings are referred, under the direction of 
Professor March, to a Committee of Fifty 
Philologists in American, English, Cana- 
dian, Australian, and East-Indian Uni- 
versities and representative professional 
■writers and speakers in English. 



IX. The Scientific Alphabet which has 
been prepared and recommended by the 
American Philological Association, and 
adopted by the American Spelling Re- 
form Association, is used in giving the 
pronunciation of words. 

X. The Quotations used to verify or il- 
lustrate the meaning of words, are located; 
that is, not only in each instance is the 
name of the author given, but also the 
book and page, and the edition from which 
the Quotation has been taken is indicated. 

XI. The Pictorial Illustrations are all 
(nearly 5,000) made expressly for this 
work ; over 4,000 of these are in wood, 
and some are full-page groups in colors, 
made by the Messrs. Prang, and true 
works of art. In the latter, color is, for 
the first time in the history of diction- 
ary-making, introduced as an aid to def- 
inition — as. for example, in showing the 
plumage of birds, the blending of colors 
in the solar spectrum, the colors of gems, 
flowers, decorations of honor, etc. 

XII. The definitions in each depart- 
ment of science, philosophy, language, 
and physics are provided with cross-ref- 
erences, so arranged as to enable the stu- 
dent to bring related parts of any science 
together in logical order, and giving a 
complete exposition of the entire subject. 

XIII. Handicraft terms, under the edi- 
torial direction of a competent specialist, 
are gathered with great completeness, and 
grouped under the different trades; the 
more important of these words are also 
given in their vocabulary places. 

XIV. Under such general terms as ap- 
ple, architecture, constellation, element, 
foot-ball, etc., are grouped the principal 
sub-titles belonging to the general sub- 
ject — as, for example, varieties of apples 
and other fruits and products; in the 
same way the correct name to apply to 
each separate part of a building under 
the general term architecture ; the names 
of all the known constellations; the names 
of the elements ; the terms used in foot- 
ball — in all, some 50,000 clews or helps to 
finding the correct word to use in all 
cases. This plan of grouping furnishes a 
valuable word-finding dictionary within 
the dictionary itself. By this means a 
word can be recalled or the correct word 
found by turning to the general term un- 
der which it falls. This is the first time 
any practical method has been devised by 
which the student can readily gain a bet- 
ter command of language in any chrec- 
tion sought. f 



President E. Benjamin Andrews, of Brown University : "1 believe that this 
dictionary essentially fulfils the high ideal of its projectors. Jt is an out-and- 
out new product, and not, like our old dictionaries, the result of patching and 
amendment, little by little, the different pieces often added by many, many 
minds." 



Professor Charles Foster Smith, of Vanderbilt University : "Every special 
feature of the work that I have examined has proved more thorough and 
excellent than I had anticipated. I believe that it ought to be and will be 
the people's English dictionary." 



EMINENT CRITICS ENDORSE: THE DICTIONARY. 



A Work by Eminent Specialists. 

Examiner and Times, Manchester, Eng- 
land: " No expense or effort seems to have been 
spared to make the dictionary as complete and 
authoritative as possible. The vocabulary is 
extraordinarily rich and full, thousands of words 
being admitted for the first time in a general 
dictionary. The editors were selected from the 
front rank of American and English scholars. 
. . . Indeed, it may be said that the dictionary 
is the work of men thoroughly equipped in the 
echools of science, literature, and art, and of ex- 
perts in various handicrafts and trades. The 
plan and workmanship will commend themselves 
to every one in need of a good, comprehensive, 
and reliable dictionary that is abreast of modern 
scholarship. The typography is excellent, and 
the general get-up of the work leaves nothing to 
be desired. The dictionary is destined to hold a 
prominent place for many years to come." 

All that was Promised has ma- 
terialized. 

Journal of Education, Boston, Mass. : 
"Upon the appearance of the prospectus the 
editor of the Journal said: ' If one-fourth that 
is foreshadowed by the prospectus materializes 
in the Standard Dictionary, it will make the 
world its debtor, and all who write must praise 
it evermore.' The first volume has appeared, 
and four-fourths of all that was prophesied has 
materialized ; all who read and write will be its 
debtors. In thoroughness, completeness, accu- 
racy, typography, style, and illustration, it chal- 
lenges criticism, and commands admiration." 

A Business man's View of It. 

Mr. A.. C. Stevens, Editor of Bradslreefs 
New York: " I do not see how it can help sell- 
ing. The book possesses that which will sell 
itself. Your company has certainly produced 
something which, in my judgment, must long 
continue a monument to ill liberality, good 
judgment, and capacity to do." 

Etymology Placed After Instead of 
Before a Definition. 

Joseph Cooh, Boston, Mass.: "Your plans 
for a Standard Dictionary are very attractive. I 
like particularly your putting the etymological 
derivation at the end rather than at the beginning 
of each leading word." 
The Best Dictionary of Synonyms. 

W. B. Comings, Superintendent of Public 
Schools, Norwalk, Ohio: "It will stand at the 
head of all American dictionaries in matter of 
synonyms and antonyms." 

T7p to Date in Scientific Def- 
initions. 

Professor George Macloshie, Princeton 
College: "In my own department of Science 
[Biology] I see that it is well up to date, and that 
its definitions are clear and perfectly reliable; 
and I am satisfied that it will take its place as 
the best dictionary of our language." 

Charles Morris, Author, Philadelphia, Pa.: 
" I find it very full aud satisfactory in electrical 
terms and definitions, and the same fulness 
seems to be its general characteristic." 



A Company of Distinguished Sci- 
entists Put it to the Test. 

F. S. Knowlton, M.S., Professor of Bot- 
any, Columbian University, Washington, D. C, 
Curator of Botany, United States National Mu- 
seum, Washington: "I have examined Vol. I. 
with great care, and am pleased beyond expres- 
sion with it. I have not yet noticed a typo- 
graphical error in it, nor an error of statement. 
I put it to a severe test the other day. I had it in 
a company consisting of a distinguished philoso- 
pher, a geologist, and a paleontologist, and asked 
them to call for any word they could think of. 
They did the best they could to confound the 
book, hut in every instance the word called for 
was there, even including a number of words 
coined by themselves 1 " 

Delighted with its Completeness, 
Reliability, and Beanty. 

Mene Isadore Holaind, Professor of Ethics 
and Sociology, Woodstock (Roman Catholic) 
College: "Our professors often open the first 
volume and express their delight at finding words 
that are wanting in our best lexicons. Next to 
its completeness and reliability, the beauty of its 
illustrations is the subject of the most favorable 
comments of the gentlemen who compose the 
college staff." 

Essential to Every lawyer's 
Library. 

The JLmerican lawyer, New York : "It 
is particularly rich in the terms of arts and sci- 
ences . . . and the law terms hold, perhaps, for 
the first time in any dictionary, a prominent and 
satisfactory position. . . . Prom the definitions 
we have examined we say, without fear of con- 
tradiction, that the legal work is so ably per- 
formed that the Standard Dictionary should 
henceforth form an essential part of every law- 
yer's library." 

A Wonder that Nobody Ever 
Thought of it Before. 

Clement X. Smith, Dean of Harvard Uni- 
versity, and Professor of Latin: "The plan 
appearB to me admirable. . . . Placing the etym- 
ology after the definition is so obvious an im- 
provement that now one wonders why it was not 
thought of before." 

Order Brought Out of Chaos in the 
Compounding of Words. 

The Teachers' Institute, New York : "Au- 
thors, proof-readers, and printers are continually 
reminded of the lack of uniformity in the dic- 
tionaries in the compounding of words. P. 
Horace Teall, being editor of this department in 
Punk & Wagnalls' Standard Dictionary, has 
undertaken to bring order out of chaos." 

Hartford Times, Hartford, Conn.: "For 
the first time the attempt has been made (and 
well executed) to reduce the compounding of 
words to a scientific system, and thus aid, 
through the Standard, in doing away with much 
of the confusion in compounding." 



George P. Merrill, M.S., Ph.D., United States National Museum, Washing- 
ton, D.C., adds this indorsement: "It was not until I came to consult the 
Standard Dictionary, that I realized the immense advantage of its method 
over that ordinarily pursued, giving first the definition of a word and after- 
ward its derivation and synonyms." 



Edward Everett Hale, D.D., Boston, January 18, 1894: "We have ^d^usedihe 
d it is the blessing of our breakfast-table. 1 think xt aoes 



book, a dozen times, an 

great credit to the firm and to the compilers 



A. Conan Doyle, the eminent English novelist, 
now visiting this country, recently wrote from Lon- 
don, to the publishers of the Standard Dictionary, 
as fellows: 

12 Tennisox Road, South Norwood, 

August 20, 1894 

Gentlemen :— I wrote once hefore to commend 
your dictionary, hut I fesl bound to do so again, after 
a longer experience with it. It has become quite a 
jok - with us that we can not trip it up. AVe have 
several times been sure that we would,, but have 
always failed. Within the last week 1 have had oc- 
casion to turn it up for " gyp," " coffie," and •• cosh- 
ering," always successful. Is the second volume 
purchasable? Yours faithfully^ ^^ ^^ 

Professor jr. O. Murray, Princeton College, 
"wr'tcs- "I have no hesitation in pronouncing it 
most complete in all departments of lexicography. 
It deserves all the high commendation it has received 
in America and in England." 

[Professor Murray is Dean of the College of NOT 
Jersey, Princeton, N, J.] 
Tlie Government's Statistical Expert 
Praises its Accuracy. 
Carroll J>. Wright, United States Bureau of Sta- 
tistic?, Washington: "I find the definitions not only 
correct, but wonderfully clear and terse." 

Clear and Comprehensive. 

"» Hie Christian Intelligencer, New York, Feb. 
14 1804' "The definitions are clear, the current pres- 
ent meaning being first in order. They are also com- 
prehensive: settting forth the meaning at various 
periods and the sense in which the words have been 
used by writers of good repute. One sees at a glance 
the common usage and such usage as is allowable. 

The Xeu- Yorh Observer: "Preference has 
teen given in defining to the most common definition, 
rather than to the first meaning in historical order. 
A dictionary's first duty is to teach us how to spell, 
then to tell us the present meaning of a word. JMy- 
moiogy and history come next, and these are tuily 
and faithfully treated." 

The Boston Herald: " A notable feature of the 
new dictionary is the extent to which it has come 
under the control and guidance of experts. All dic- 
tionaries reach their perfection in this way, but the 
Standard seems to have been specially indebted to 
experts in different departments of knowledge for its 
accuracy and thoroughness and discrunination. 
It is particularly valuable in the definition of scien- 
tific terms, and" it is rich in its service in presentmg 
the classification of the sciences." 



The Daily Inter Ocean, Chicago, HI.. Dec. 30, 

1893- "It is indeed a grand book. The first volume- 
makes up 1,060 pages, three columns to the page, and 
in its bindin" and illustrations it is so markeuly t 
lent as to deserve only the best words of commenda- 
tion." 

The Brooklyn Citizen, Brooklyn. S.-T- Jan 
7 1894- "It is the most complete work oi its Kind 
that 'has vet been issued, and seemingly leaves noth- 
ing further to be desired in a dictionary, even one of 
the lano-uage that now leads all others and is destined 
to be the universal speech of the world.'- 

The Scientific American, New York: "For 
eivin" pronunciation of words, what is know 
the scientific alphabet is used. This alphabc 
been prepared and recommended by the Ama 
Philological Association, and adopted by the Amer- 
ican Spelling Reform Association. This is an im- 
mense advance over the arbitrary system used in so 
many other works of this character. 

The Mark Lane Express, London, Bjgl 
observes: "Of course there are many who will some- 
what obiect to what is known as the American style 
of spelling, but no such objection can be raised 
against this dictionary, because disputed spellings 
and pronunciations have been referred to an advisory 
committee of 50 philologists in American. English, 
Canadian, Australian, and East Indian universi 
and representative professional writers and speakers 
of English. The differences of pronunciation are 
shown* m the appendix of the book, and further, any 
disputed spellings and pronunciations will be found 
given by each member of that committee. ' 

Prof. A. H. Sayce, University of Oxford. Eng- 
land: " AVill deserve all the encomia passed npon it. 

Xatiire, London, England, June 14, 1894: "It 
passes the wit of man to suggest any thing which 
ou^ht to have been done that has not been done to 
make the Standard Dictionary a success. 

Hon. tlustin McCarthy, Member of the House 

of Commons, London. England. May 19, 1894: • 
refer to it cthe Standard Dictionary) every day— never 
once without feeling that it has given me a helping 
hand in mv studies and in my writings. I regard it as 
a monumental work— a work perfect of its kind. 

The Critic, New York : "The illustrative quota- 
tions are not merely credited to the author, as in all 
other American dictionaries, hut their exact location, 
by edition (which publisher and date), volume, date, 
chapter page, etc.. is added. This is an improvement 
which will be particularly appreciated by teachers and 
critical students."
